Key brain regions that have been shown correlates of self-referenced prediction errors (in yellow) or other-referenced prediction errors (in purple), or both kinds of prediction errors (in green) in the domain of actions (a) and reward/value outcomes (b). For motor learning-related errors, we only provide representative areas as they are beyond the scope of this review. It is worthwhile to note that the distributions of these areas for their involvements in self-referenced or other-referenced prediction error signaling are naturally constrained by the amount of research examining different types of prediction errors. The insets with coronal magnetic resonance images indicate the sections (red line) that correspond to the Nissl-stained sagittal slices. The dotted outline around an area indicates that this area is projected medially from the lateral surface for the purpose of including the area on a more medial aspect of the brain.
