Neural correlates of overall value in the moral judgment task. A, A region of the vmPFC correlated with overall moral value in the 2 s before response. B, Time course of the overall moral value signal in this region, locked either to onset of the tradeoff (left), or the response (right). These time courses are included for display purposes only and do not represent independent tests. C, Time course in vmPFC of the overall emotional appraisal (red), and overall utilitarian appraisal (blue), locked to onset (left) or response (right). Lighter shaded areas represent SEM. Lines at the top of the charts indicate time-points where the association was significant at p < 0.05, uncorrected for multiple comparisons. Gray vertical shading represents a visual aid for the approximate time of stimulus onset and response time, adjusted for the hemodynamic lag.
