BOLD signals related to heuristic and optimal policies during the choice phase. a The probability of foraging success, the employed heuristic policy, showed a positive relation with BOLD signals in DMPFC (extending into pre-SMA; peak voxel x;y;z(MNI) = 8; 29; 50; t = 5.80), in bilateral IPS (left: x;y;z(MNI) = −42; −45; 51; t = 4.42; right: x;y;z(MNI) = 47; −42; 50; t = 5.37), and the left frontal pole (x;y;z(MIN) = −42; 47; −5; t = 4.28) among other regions. b The probability of foraging success showed a negative relation in the perigenual ACC extending into VMPFC (x;y;z(MNI) = 6; 50; 6; t = 4.53). c The optimal policy showed a positive relation in perigenual ACC (x;y;z(MNI) = 6; 50; 6; t = 4.53) and mid-cingulate cortex (x;y;z(MNI) = 2; 14; 29; t = 5.31). Overlay on group average T1-weighted image in MNI space; clusters are whole-brain family-wise error (FWE) corrected for multiple comparisons at p < 0.05 with a cluster-defining threshold of p < 0.001. Color bars depict t-values. See Supplementary Table 7 for a list of all clusters
