Maturation of limbic corticostriatal activation and connectivity associated with developmental changes in temporal discounting

► Hypothetical temporal discounting (TD) decreases throughout adolescence. ► Age-related reductions in TD are associated with activation changes in frontostriatal and temporoparietal systems. ► Ventromedial prefrontal activation increases with age during TD. ► Ventral striatal activation decreases with age during TD. ► Ventromedial frontostriatal functional connectivity increases with age and decreasing impulsivity in TD.
