Summary

This study looks at how different parts of the brain work together when people decide whether to put in effort for a reward. Researchers will use safe, non-invasive brain stimulation and brain scans to test these connections in 204 healthy adults aged 18 to 40. The goal is to better understand what causes apathy and find new ways to help people with motivation problems.
