Highlights • Age-related changes in VTA-mPFC connectivity are moderated by SES and early adversity.• Connectivity between the VTA and caudate increases with age in childhood.• Findings are consistent with rodent models showing stress susceptibility in the VTA.• Stress exposure may blunt the development of reward circuitry in childhood.
