Neural correlates of conscious sequence learning. (Top panel) Conjunction analysis showing ACC/MPFC area [-436 -8 mm] in which correlation between sequence generation score and rCBF is modulated by the generation condition [Inclusion vs. Exclusion] both in the RSI0 and RSI250 conditions, psvc < 0.05. Data are displayed at the uncorrected p < 0.001 threshold, on an averaged T-1-weighted MRI. (Bottom panel) Scatterplot (and regression lines) of the correlations between rCBF changes (at coordinate indicated above) and generation scores in the Inclusion (circles, black line) and Exclusion (crosses, gray line) conditions. Generation performance in the Exclusion condition (i.e., low generation score reflects successful exclusion) significantly correlates with ACC/MPFC activity. Correlations with generation performance in the Inclusion condition is nonsignificant.
