Animal and human studies have demonstrated that mesolimbic dopamine plays a crucial role in the involvement in voluntary physical activity. Here, we test this possible role in a sample of 66 right-handed healthy young adults by studying the influence of personality and the volume of reward-related brain areas on individual differences in voluntary physical activity, objectively measured by accelerometer and subjectively self-reported by questionnaire. Our results show that a smaller volume of the right anterior cingulate cortex and lower scores on reward sensitivity contributed to explaining low levels of daily physical activity. Moreover, the volume of the right anterior cingulate cortex correlates positively with self-reported total physical activity. Results are discussed by highlighting the need to use objective measures of daily physical activity, as well as the important role of the anterior cingulate cortex and personality in promoting effortful and invigorating actions to obtain rewards. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 5.2 2023 BIOLOGY 13 / 109 = 0.119 2023 Q1 T1 2.09 2023 Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous) 2023 Q1 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2023 Q1 Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous) 2023 Q1 8.6 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Adrián-Ventura, Jesús Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0912-5139 Cherednichenko, Anastasia Monzonís-Carda, Irene Beltran-Valls, Maria Reyes MolinerUrdiales, Diego Ávila, César 4009 730 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
