Mapping the Decision-Making Circuitry of Sexually Risky and Nonrisky Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
We used cognitive, gambling and virtual sexual tasks during fMRI to examine neural mechanisms of decision-making in METH and non-METH using risky and non-risky men who have sex with men. We evaluated neural predictors of real-life behavior and vice versa to identify neural circuitry characteristic of real-life risk-takers
