Mentions: We placed an ROI over basolateral and lateral nuclei of the amygdala (14, −3, −13; Figure 3A), the region investigated in previous studies (Morrison et al., 2011; Paton et al., 2006; Saddoris et al., 2005). Three out of four monkeys carried a positive WSLS signal at the outcome phase that was similar to one seen in lOFC, although the group average effect across the four monkeys was not significant (t3 = 1.106, p = 0.350; Figure 3B).
