Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is associated with altered reward mechanisms during the anticipation and the outcome of monetary incentive cues

Highlights • PTSD showed altered behavioral responses to potential monetary losses.• When avoiding monetary losses, PTSD depicted increased activation of basal ganglia.• When anticipating monetary gains, PTSD exhibited altered activation of basal ganglia.• During receipt of monetary gains PTSD showed altered activation of basal ganglia.
