Brain activity during anticipatory cue processing.
Images are presented in neurological convention (left is left) and with a threshold at p<.05 corrected. The color bars represent the t values applicable to the images and the numbers within the images correspond to z MNI coordinates.

Brain activity during erotic picture processing.
Images are presented in neurological convention (left is left) and with a threshold at p<.05 corrected. The color bar represents the t values applicable to the image and the numbers within the images correspond to z MNI coordinates.

Figure 3.
Brain areas showing positive correlation with SR scores.
Left panel shows brain activity in the left orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) (a), left insula (b), and right ventral striatum (VS) (c) during erotic picture processing (p<.05 corrected). Images are presented in neurological convention (left is left). The color bar represents the t values applicable to the image and the numbers within images correspond to y MNI coordinates. Right panel shows scatterplots displaying the partial correlation between SR scores and mean VOI activity in the left OFC (a), left insula (b), and right VS (c) during erotic picture processing after removing the effects of age. The scatterplots’ axes represent the residual values from linear regressions with age as the independent variable and the other variables of interest (i.e., SR scores or mean brain activity) as the dependent variable.
