Hyperthymic temperament predicts neural responsiveness for nonmonetary reward

Abstract Aim Hyperthymic temperament is a cheerful action orientation that is suggested to have a protective effect on depressive symptoms. We recently reported that hyperthymic temperament can positively predict activation of reward‐related brain areas in anticipation of monetary rewards, which cou...

description Abstract Aim Hyperthymic temperament is a cheerful action orientation that is suggested to have a protective effect on depressive symptoms. We recently reported that hyperthymic temperament can positively predict activation of reward‐related brain areas in anticipation of monetary rewards, which could serve as a biomarker of hyperthymic temperament. However, the relationship between hyperthymic temperament and neural responsiveness to nonmonetary rewards (i.e., feedback indicating success in a task) remains unclear. Methods Healthy participants performed a modified monetary incentive delay task inside a functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner. To examine the effect of nonmonetary positive feedback, the participants performed feedback and no‐feedback trials. We explored brain regions whose neural responsiveness to nonmonetary rewards was predicted by hyperthymic temperament. Results There was premotor area activation in anticipation of a nonmonetary reward, which was negatively predicted by hyperthymic temperament. Moreover, brain areas located mainly in the primary somatosensory area and somatosensory association area were activated by performance feedback, which was positively predicted by hyperthymic temperament. Conclusion We found that hyperthymic temperament is related to neural responsiveness to both monetary and nonmonetary rewards. This may be related to the process of affective regulation in the somatosensory area.
