    Neuron 30:619-39. 2001
    ..The overlap of the observed activations with those seen previously in response to tactile stimuli, gustatory stimuli, and euphoria-inducing drugs is consistent with a contribution of common circuitry to the processing of diverse rewards...
  2. ncbi Beautiful faces have variable reward value: fMRI and behavioral evidence
    I Aharon
    Motivation and Emotion Neuroscience Center, Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02129, USA
    Neuron 32:537-51. 2001
    ..An extended set of subcortical and paralimbic reward regions also appear to follow aspects of the keypress rather than the rating procedures, suggesting that reward circuitry function does not include aesthetic assessment...

    G P Gasic
    Motivation and Emotion Neuroscience Collaboration MENC, Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
    Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet 150:762-81. 2009

    S L Rauch
    Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston 02114, USA
    Hum Brain Mapp 5:124-32. 1997

    L Becerra
    Center for Functional Pain Neuroimaging and Therapy Research, Boston, MA 02129, USA

    Motivation and Emotion Neuroscience Collaboration, Department of Radiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02129, USA
    Neuron 44:729-40. 2004
    ..These findings argue for a condition that predisposes the individual to cocaine dependence by affecting the amygdala, or a primary event early in the course of cocaine use...
