Subtypes of nucleus accumbens (NAcc) activation for anticipation of gains and losses were identified for healthy and major depressive disorder (MDD) subjects. We used hierarchical clustering analysis to categorize NAcc activation patterns in individual subjects. Majority of subjects had typical NAcc activity; increased activity to gain and less active to loss. Hyper- and hypo-active subtypes were also found, which showed increase or decreased activity to both gains and losses. These hyper- and hypo-active types were seen in both healthy and MDD groups with the same percentage. In MDD subjects, however, subjects with the hypo-active NAcc had more severe depression symptoms.
