Dysfunction in motivation represents an important transdiagnostic facet of psychiatric symptoms, and has been associated with dopamine network dysfunction in animal models. In this talk we will present a series of experiments designed to examine the distinct processes underlying motivation and explore their neural correlates via multi-modal high-field MRI in individuals with and without depression. The efficacy of a motivation-based neurofeedback intervention will also be described, alongside the utility of tracking individuals in the real-world via smartphone app.
