Figure 3. Amygdala and ventral striatum activation during the task.

Figure 3.

(A) Decision (safe or risky) could be decoded with 56.4% accuracy from amygdala activation. Decoding accuracy map resulting from an MVPA searchlight analysis of the BOLD signal obtained at the time of the decision, thresholded at p<0.05 FWE-corrected across anatomically-defined amygdalae. (B) Amygdala response to game outcome: response to feedback from the human partner (facial expression) minus the response to feedback from the human partner (abstract symbol). Threshold was p<0.05 FWE-corrected for multiple comparisons at the voxel level across the whole brain. (C) Clusters in bilateral nucleus accumbens showed significant activation increases in response to wins compared to no wins. Threshold was p<0.05 FWE-corrected for multiple comparisons at the voxel level within the anatomically-defined ventral striatum. R: right; y = MNI coordinate.
