Considering the central role of NAcc on reward processing and the evidence of atypical reward-related behaviors in individuals with ADHD, it was hypothesized that functional connectivity of NAcc may be atypical in ADHD and that impulsive decision making (represented by steeper discounting gradient) may be related to the strength of specific connections from the NAcc.
