Figure 3

Three-dimensional representation of the cortical and subcortical structures composing the reward system in the human brain. Image A shows a lateral view of the right hemisphere. Images B and C show a medial view of the right hemisphere; image D is an inferior view; images E and F are ventral views of both hemispheres showing the hypothalamus, mammilary bodies, SLEA, and ventral diencephalon. The latter structures are shown in image F in a zoomed view. Abbreviations: Amyg – amygdala, BF-SLEA – basal forebrain/sublenticular extended amygdala, CGa – anterior cingulate cortex, CGp – posterior cingulate gyrus, dlPFC – dorsolateral-prefrontal cortex, FOC –orbitofrontal cortex, Hipp – hippocampus, Hypo – hypothalamus, INS – insula, MB – mammilary body, NAC – nucleus accumbens area, PHa – anterior parahippocampal gyrus, PHp – posterior parahippocampal gyrus, SC – subcallosal cortex, TP – temporal pole, VDC – ventral diencephalon.
