Toward an understanding of the brain substrates of reward in humans

Neuron. 2002 Feb 28;33(5):668-71. doi: 10.1016/s0896-6273(02)00620-7.

Abstract

A network of brain regions has been implicated in food-reward processing. now provide evidence that this network is differentially modulated by anticipation versus receipt of a food reward and suggest an additional effect of valence of the stimulus.
