Figure 3.

(a) The neural representation of subjective delayed reward value at the baseline assessment (T₀). In the coronal view (upper panel), activation of the bilateral nucleus accumbens (NAcc; both P<0.001, corrected) is depicted, while the sagittal view (lower panel) shows the activation in the left ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC; P=0.003 and P=0.001, corrected). (b) Association between same-sex parent delayed reward inconsistency and the neural subjective value representation in the left NAcc (upper panel; P=0.014, corrected) as well as in the left vmPFC (lower panel; P=0.004, corrected). Scatter plots show individual parental inconsistency scores and estimates of the neural SV representation in the peak voxel (arbitrary units). The images in (a) are displayed with a threshold of P<0.001, uncorrected, and the images in (b) are displayed with a threshold of P<0.005, uncorrected, for visualization purposes. Color bars represent F values.
