In the article “Ventral striatal hypoactivation is associated with apathy but not diminished expression in patients with schizophrenia” by Kirschner and colleagues1 published in the May 2016 issue of the journal, the paragraph on “experimental design and task” in the Methods section should have mentioned that the task variant used was originally developed by Simon and colleagues.2 The text and the reference list have been updated in the online version of the article, which is available at jpn.ca We apologize for the error.
