Altered structural and functional brain network overall organization predict human intertemporal decision-making.

ABSTRACT: Intertemporal decision-making is naturally ubiquitous to us: individuals always make a decision with different consequences occurring at different moments. These choices are invariably involved in life-changing outcomes regarding marriage, education, fertility, long-term well-being, and even public policy. Previous studies have clearly uncovered the neurobiological mechanism of the intertemporal decision in the schemes of regional location or sub-network. However, it still remains unclear how to characterize intertemporal behavior with multimodal whole-brain network metrics to date. Here, we combined diffusion tensor image and resting-state functional connectivity MRI technology, in conjunction with graph-theoretical analysis, to explore the link between topological properties of integrate
