Pleasure ratings correlate with mesolimbic BOLD activity during imagery. Scenes were rank ordered by each participant’s pleasure ratings and plotted against the mean signal change in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) at each rank. Pie charts depict the proportion of the a priori (based on ANET standardized ratings; Bradley and Lang, 2007) pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant texts at each rank (Costa et al., 2009).
