abstract="Developmental differences regarding decision making are often reported in the absence of emotional stimuli and without context, failing to explain why some individuals are more likely to have a greater inclination toward risk. The current study (N=212; 10-25y) examined the influence of emotional context on underlying functional brain connectivity over development and its impact on risk preference. Using functional imaging data in a neutral brain-state we first identify the &quot;brain age&quot; of a given individual then validate it with an independent measure of cortical thickness. We then show, on average, that &quot;brain age&quot; across the group during the teen years has the propensity to look younger in emotional contexts. Further, we show this phenotype (i.e. a younger brain age in emotional contexts) relates to a group mean difference in risk perception - a pattern exemplified greatest in young-adults (ages 18-21). The results are suggestive of a specified functional brain phenotype that relates to being at &quot;risk to be risky.&quot;<br><br>Copyright © 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd..
