Reward modulation of successful memory formation. (A) Encoding activation in VTA/SN and several MTL subregions (shown in red) was associated with subsequent cued recall performance, with greater activation for remembered relative to forgotten associations. An orange dotted outline indicates the boundaries of the anatomical VTA/SN region on a representative slice (see Methods for full description of localization procedures). (B) Subsequent memory effects (remembered > forgotten associations) in MTL and VTA/SN plotted as a function of reward value: high-value remembered (dark blue), high-value forgotten (light blue), low-value remembered (red), and low-value forgotten (pink). A significant reward x memory interaction was observed in right PHc and VTA/SN (denoted by a ⊗). Error bars represent standard error of the mean. Asterisks indicate significant pairwise differences (p < 0.05).
