Figure 2

Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) mean BOLD signal change and BOLD time courses. BOLD responses to all four study stimuli (Mean % change with SEM). Percentage change from pre-ingestion (0–5 minutes) to post-ingestion (minute 9–21 post ingestion) were calculated. P-values in the top panel for the differences in percentage change between study stimuli were tested against the water intervention with linear mixed model analysis using the entire response. P-values in the bottom panel for differences in percentage change between study stimuli were tested against the water intervention with linear mixed model analysis per time segment (min 9–13, min 14–17 and min 18–21). Grey areas in the time course graphs indicate period during which the stimuli were consumed, data points were excluded from the analysis.
