Neural correlates of congruency and motivation. (A) Effect of congruency. Incongruent trials elicited higher activity in dACC relative to congruent trials. Bar plots depict the corresponding parameter estimates of the parametric regressors at the ACC peak coordinate of the contrast incongruent vs. congruent trials are shown, separated by motivation conditions (± standard errors). (B) Neural correlates of motivational salience. Brain regions exhibiting motivation-related activation differences include the striatum, the anterior insula, and the ACC. All activation maps are superimposed on the MNI template brain provided by MRIcron. Contrasts were significant at p < 0.05, FWE-corrected. Coordinates are in MNI space. NEU, neutral condition; REW, reward condition; PUN, punishment condition; COM, combined reward and punishment condition.
