Figure 2.

Neural correlates of the relation and valence effect. (A–C) Significant activations for the comparison of related and unrelated word pairs. The plots depict the size of the priming effect with response enhancement (upper panel) and suppression (lower panel) with common activation in the right middle frontal gyrus (MFG), differences for patients in the right fusiform gyrus (FG), and for the controls within the left anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). (D and E) The comparison of positive > neutral and negative valence revealed signal changes within the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the amygdala while for negative > positive and neutral valence differences within the putamen were found.
