21. Truth Machine
Fourteen areas of the brain,
including the anterior
cingulate cortex (top yellow
dot) and the hippocampus
(bottom), were active when
subjects lied; seven areas
were active when subjects
told the truth.
22. Proof of Purchase
When areas of the brain
associated with product
preference and evaluation of
gains and losses--the nucleus
accumbens (right red dot) and
the medial prefrontal cortex
(left), respectively--were
activated, the person bought a
product 60% of the time.
23. Big Love
Early stage romantic love is about
motivation and reward, since it
lights up subcortical reward
regions like the right ventral
tegmental area (top blue dot) and
dorsal caudate area (bottom).
Subjects in more extended
romantic love showed more
activity in the ventral pallidum
(middle).
24. Oops, I Did It Again
When subjects made errors
with consequences the rostral
anterior cingulate cortex
(rACC, orange dot) was much
more active. It was less active
when mistakes carried no
penalty. The rACC's
involvement suggests the
importance of emotions in
making decisions.
25. Better to Give
The caudate nucleus (right
green dot) and nucleus
accumbens (left), the same
regions that fire when basic
needs like hunger and social
contact are met, were
activated when subjects saw
some of their tax money go to
charity.

of those of religious faith, and they found that,
as Riley puts it: “The Apple products are
triggering the same bits of [Brooks'] brain as
religious imagery triggers in a person of faith.”
