Fig. 3. Brain activation related to self-gain lies compared to other-gain truths and self-gain lies under reputation risk.

Fig. 3

Results of GLM2: a axial, coronal, and sagittal slices showing, in red, the regions active for self-gain lies vs. other-gain truths irrespective of reputation conditions and, in blue, the regions that are most active for self-gain lies vs. other-gain truths with reputation risk, namely, the left vmAI, and the bilateral ACC (interaction effect: self-gain lies/other-gain truths × reputation/no reputation) (N = 15). b Bar plots showing, in blue, the increased activation of the left vmAI and left and right ACC for self-gain lies with reputation risk (bar 4) and, in red, showing increased activation for self-gain lies (bars 1 & 4) vs. other-gain truths (bars 2 & 5) in both reputation conditions (N = 15). vmAI ventromedial anterior insula, lACC/rACC left/right anterior cingulate cortex, ME main effect, int interaction effect, SG-Lie self-gain lies, OG-Tr other-gain truth, SG-Tr self-gain truth.
