Choice impulsivity represents preference towards smaller immediate rewards over larger delayed rewards. Extensive literature demonstrates that choice can be manipulated using dopaminergic agonists such as methylphenidate (MPH), and females exhibit elevated compared to males. Sex differences are also frequently reported with respect brain white matter (WM) fiber integrity. It has yet determined whether sex exist in the impact of MPH on impulsivity, these putative accounted for by integrity differential WM fibers. Forty-eight healthy young adults completed delay discounting (DD) task twice during MRI-DTI scans after receiving either or placebo a double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subject design. was assessed automated quantification (AFQ) tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS). Compared placebo, yielded significantly reduced males but not females. DTI data revealed multiple fibers Interestingly, negatively associated forceps major corpus callosum only positively minor only. Taken together, results uncover sex-specific effects inverse associations between under structural distinct segments callosum. These findings highlight need consider neurobiological mechanisms impulsivity.
