STS
subliminal perception of African-American faces?
Subliminal – automatic amygdala response, Supraliminal – consciously controlled response in the ACC, VLPFC, and DLPFC
Trustworthy faces
untrustworthy is insula, trustworthy is mPFC orbitofrontal and caudate.

tower of london mental models
left DLPFC, frontopoloar

abstract information from different sources must be integrated.
frontopolar
Cracker, union, and rabbit all relate to the word ‘jack’. What area of the brain is activated when you make that realization?
anterior temporal lobe
s active when people make decisions that run counter to the framing effect.
DMPFC
What hormone is related to trusting? What brain area becomes activated in trust situations?
oxytocin, caudate nucleus
What dopamine systems are related to decision-making?
Mesocortical pathway, Mesolimbic pathway
Connects low-level attentional signals to high-level motor outputs. ___ activity changes as a function of the changing relative value of possible actions.
lateral intraparietal area LIP
is associated with willingness to pay…or to later trade monetary rewards for social rewards. Coke drinkers showed more activation when Coke was given; Pepsi drinkers showed more Pepsi-dependent activity. Suggests that areas related to reward-outcome analyses can be modulated by a priori behavioural preferences.
VMPFC
fired monotonically with increasing or decreasing numbers of dots. Had no experimental training with numbers.
