Logic used to dissociate “value” from other motivational variables. If activity in a region represents “value” signals, then activation in that region for appetitive stimuli is expected to be greater than aversive stimuli, with responses to neutral somewhere in between. However, if activity represents salience or intensity, activation during both appetitive and aversive stimuli would be greater than that observed to neutral stimuli.
