Objective and subjective effects of ambiguity and conflict. (A) Activation in neighboring regions of the medial prefrontal cortex was sensitive to both the level of ambiguity (ventromedial prefrontal cortex, vmPFC) and ambiguity attitudes (medial prefrontal cortex MPFC). (B) Activation in neighboring regions of the ventral striatum was sensitive to both the level of conflict (a more ventral region) and conflict attitudes (a more dorsal region). The functional maps are superimposed on a mean normalized anatomical image. L, left; R, right; A, anterior; P, posterior.
