Question

according to the ucla brain mapping center, what happens when teenagers receive a higher number of likes on their posted photos? multiple choice - they experience feelings of loneliness. - the reward centers of their brains light up. - they become more anxious about their appearance. - they feel more disconnected from their peers.

Explanation:

Research from the UCLA Brain Mapping Center shows that social validation like more likes on photos activates the brain's reward centers in teenagers, similar to how rewards (like praise or positive feedback) activate these areas. The other options (loneliness, appearance anxiety, disconnection) are not associated with increased likes in this context.

Answer:

B. The reward centers of their brains light up.
