Abstract
âºAttractive faces were remembered better than neutral or unattractive faces. âºActivity in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) increased as a function of facial attractiveness, whereas activity in the hippocampus increased as a function of subsequent retrieval success. âºFunctional connectivity between these OFC and hippocampal regions was stronger during the successful encoding of attractive than neutral or unattractive faces. âºBetter memory for attractive faces reflects greater interaction between reward-related OFC and memory-related hippocampal regions.
