Figure 6

The representation of pleasant and unpleasant odours in the human brain. Above: group conjunction results for the three pleasant odours. Sagittal, horizontal and coronal views are shown at the levels indicated, all including the same activation in the medial orbitofrontal cortex, OFC (X,Y,Z=0,54,−12; z=5.23). Also shown is activation for the three pleasant odours in the anterior cingulate cortex, ACC (X,Y,Z=2,20,32; z=5.44). These activations were significant at p<0.05 fully corrected for multiple comparisons. Below: group conjunction results for the three unpleasant odours. The sagittal view (left) shows an activated region of the anterior cingulate cortex (X,Y,Z=0,18,36; z=4.42, p<0.05, S.V.C.). The coronal view (right) shows an activated region of the lateral orbitofrontal cortex (X,Y,Z=−36,27,−8; z=4.23, p<0.05 S.V.C.). All the activations were thresholded at p<0.00001 to show the extent of the activations (After Rolls et al. 2003a).
