Figure 6. Neural correlates of prospect value.

Figure 6

Prospect value (PV) of a lottery (p,$O) was defined by the product of the subjective utility of outcome v(O) and its associated probability weight w(p) inferred from choice behavior. A. Regions in mPFC (peak voxel: [-6,48,8], z=3.02) and the right lateral orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) (peak voxel: [40,26,-8], z=3.25) were correlated with PV in the classical task (cluster size > 15 voxels; dark red: p<0.005 uncorrected, bright red: p<0.001 uncorrected). B. For the motor task, we found that mPFC (peak voxel: [-2,36,-2], z=3.03) and PCC (peak voxel: [-2,-34,42], z=3.07) was significantly correlated with PV at the same thresholds. Voxel coordinates were in MNI space.
