Figure 1

The brain regions highlighted in cool colors represent regions implicated in executive functions, such as decision making, working memory and attention. The structures highlighted in warm colors are involved in reward and emotional processing. The coronal slice depicts the dorsolateral and ventrolateral prefrontal cortices (dlPFC, vlPFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), insula (Ins), and nucleus accumbens (NAcc). The axial view depicts the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), subgenual ACC, amygdala and hippocampus. Brain regions were delineated using the Harvard-Oxford Probabilistic Atlas.
