Abstract
We investigated if white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) were linked to corticostriatal function during social reward. From a sample of 194 adults (aged 21-89), preliminary analyses indicated no relationship between WMH volume and social reward in striatal areas, but found that somatosensory responses to social reward were reduced/increased in older adults.
