q3 i? Across all subjects, increasing RPEs elicited more activity in putamen, vmPFC, amygdala and posterior cingulate, while aIns, dmPFC and dlPFC were significantly anticorrelated with RPEs. → Hauser 2015

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Whole-group random-effects fMRI main-effect analysis of model-derived RPEs entered as parametric modulators at feedback, thresholded at p < .05 voxel-height FWE across all 36 participants. The article reports aIns, dmPFC and dlPFC were "significantly anticorrelated with RPEs", and separately lists positive correlations with putamen, vmPFC, amygdala and posterior cingulate (Table 2).

"The bilateral anterior insula (aIns), bilateral dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex were significantly anticorrelated with RPEs (decreasing RPEs elicit more activity, Table 2, Fig. 3A)."
