Abstract Twenty one healthy and right handed dentists underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (3T-fMRI) under risk and uncertainty while viewing blocks of unpleasant images and neutral images. This study used the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART). The subjects knew the probability of the task under risk and did not know the probability under uncertainty. The left amygdala and the putamen were activated by the unpleasant images during the task under uncertainty. However, the anterior cingulate cortex was activated and amygdala was not activated during the task under risk. These results show that the activity of inhibitory system and amygdala under uncertainty may be different from that in risky situation.
AbstractList Twenty one healthy and right handed dentists underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (3T-fMRI) under risk and uncertainty while viewing blocks of unpleasant images and neutral images. This study used the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART). The subjects knew the probability of the task under risk and did not know the probability under uncertainty. The left amygdala and the putamen were activated by the unpleasant images during the task under uncertainty. However, the anterior cingulate cortex was activated and amygdala was not activated during the task under risk. These results show that the activity of inhibitory system and amygdala under uncertainty may be different from that in risky situation. 健康な右利きの歯科医師21名に対し,リスク(risk)状況および不確実(ambiguity,またはuncertainty)状況において不快画像刺激と中立的画像刺激を呈示し,3TのfMRI装置を用いて脳機能画像解析を行った.fMRI装置内で被験者が行う課題にはBalloon Analogue Risk Task(BART)課題を利用した.被験者が直面している課題の確率を事前に告知している状況をリスク状況,確率を全く告知していない状況を不確実状況とした.結果,不快画像刺激により不確実な状況では扁桃体と線条体(被殻)が有意に賦活し,リスク状況では前帯状皮質の活動が有意であったが扁桃体の賦活は確認されなかった.この結果は,リスク状況では不確実状況と異なり,扁桃体の活動を抑制するような機能が働いている可能性を示唆するものである.
