      abstract     = {Healthy older adults report greater well-being and life
                      satisfaction than their younger counterparts. One potential
                      explanation for this is enhanced optimism. We tested the
                      influence of age on optimistic and pessimistic beliefs about
                      the future and the associated structural neural
                      correlates.Eighteen young and 18 healthy older adults
                      performed a belief updating paradigm, measuring differences
                      in updating beliefs for desirable and undesirable
                      information about future negative events. These measures
                      were related to regional brain volume, focusing on the
                      anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) because this region is
                      strongly linked to a positivity bias in older age.We
                      demonstrate an age-related reduction in updating beliefs
                      when older adults are faced with undesirable, but not
                      desirable, information about negative events. This greater
                      'update bias' in older age persisted even after controlling
                      for a variety of variables including subjective rating
                      scales and poorer overall memory. A structural brain
                      correlate of this greater 'update bias' was evident in
                      greater grey matter volume in the dorsal ACC in older but
                      not in young adults.We show a greater update bias in healthy
                      older age. The link between this bias and relative volume of
                      the ACC suggests a shared mechanism with an age-related
                      positivity bias. Older adults frequently have to make
                      important decisions relating to personal, health and
                      financial issues. Our findings have wider behavioural
                      implications in these contexts because an enhanced
                      optimistic update bias may skew such real-world decision
                      making.},
