Determinants of motivated behavior are linked to fatigue and its perturbation by SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

New preprint out! In this very collaborative research project, we assessed the impact of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on determinants of motivated behavior: mental and physical exhaustion. To do so, we made use of a novel experimental paradigm (developed and extensively piloted by first author David S. Stolz), the Learn/Effort-task, to quantify these sub-facets of motivated […]

Determinants of motivated behavior are linked to fatigue and its perturbation by SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

Abstract Background Fatigue has an adaptive function and serves as a temporary signal to rest and save energy often in response to immune activation. It may, however, also persist in a pathological condition incurring significant burden. While subjective symptoms and scientific consensus indicate that both physical and mental determinants of motivated behavior are affected in fatigue,
