Neural Regions Implicated in Mood-Congruent Memory in Healthy Subjects

Note. Neuroimaging investigations of MCM have consistently implicated the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in facilitating memory for mood-congruent content, including the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Locations are marked based on the peak coordinate reported for the MCM effect (Fitzgerald et al., 2011; Lewis et al., 2005) or the site of stimulation (Bovy et al., 2020). Not shown here are the electroencephalography findings from Kiefer et al. (2007) and Egidi and Nusbaum (2012), which further demonstrate that the amplitude of the N400 event-related potential is lower for mood-congruent content due to more efficient processing.
