Corticosubcortical brain–behavior correlations a, c, Conjunction analyses between AI and VS tasks. Positive affect yielded activation in a right medial orbitofrontal locus (coronal slice: y = 48). Negative affect revealed activation in the right amygdala (y = 0). b, d, Brain–behavior correlations. A significant positive relationship was found between increasingly positive self-report ratings of valence and magnitude of BOLD response (y-axes: percentage signal change) in the mOFC during both AI (red distribution) and VS (blue); x-axes (all panels): valence Likert scale 1 [negative (neg)] to 9 [positive (pos)]. Increasingly negative self-report ratings of valence correlated with increasing magnitude of BOLD response (Y-axes: percentage signal change) in the amygdala during AI.
