Figure 5.

Activations in the basal ganglia and the anterior nucleus of the thalamus and absence of activation in the hypothalamus. Increases in rCBF are superimposed on the averaged MRI of the volunteers and are depicted in coronal sections (see the red lines on the glass brain on the left). Activations are found in the lateral putamen and perhaps the laterally adjoining claustrum and insula (cp; sections a-c). Note that in sections c and d, the anterior nucleus (na) of the thalamus is on the right side. Sections (b-d) demonstrate that in the hypothalamus (hyp) no activation is found. y = -6 (means 6 mm posterior to the anterior commissure). r, Right side.
