Figure 7.

Direct comparison of the ventral striatum subregions during the hedonic reactivity task and the PIT task. A, Scatter plot showing the pavlovian β estimates (CS+ > CS−) extracted from the voxels within the VS subregions (dorsolateral and ventromedial) correlating with the PIT effect against the strength of the behavioral PIT for each participant. B, Overall mean across participants of the hedonic β estimates (pleasure modulator) extracted from the different VS subregions (dorsolateral and ventromedial). Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between conditions (*p < 0.05). Error bars indicate ± 1 SEM adjusted for within-participants designs.
