Overview

fMRI study reveals independent impacts of negative emotion and reward motivation on visual perception.

Key Points

  • Negative emotion attenuates reward-driven enhancements in visual perception, impacting behavior.
  • The study found independent neural signatures for reward anticipation and negative emotion during the cue stage.
  • Participants showed correlations between task-related processing in the parahippocampal gyrus and emotional cues.
  • Negative valence-related activity in the ventromedial pFC moderated the relationship with reward anticipation.
