Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (VMPFC) and Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) activity associated with the impact of self-preference on the estimated target preference. (A) The VMPFC (x = 20, y = 34, z = −16, Z = 3.77, corrected, p < 0.05) and (B) the VTA (x = −6, y = −18, z = −22, Z = 3.76, corrected, p = 0.06) activities during the target vs. self conditions showed positive correlations with the individual variabilities in the degree of the impact of self-preference (SP) on the estimated target preference (eTP). (C) Scatter plot of the beta estimates of the VMPFC in the contrast of the self- vs. target-trials as a function of the impact of SP on eTP.
