By contrast, decisions to quit chasing losses were associated with increased activity in the anterior insula cortex and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex. The activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex included not only anterior cingulate proper (area 24) but also the paracingulate cortex (area 32). Decisions to quit were also associated with substantial signal increases along the middle frontal gyrus, in the posterior cingulate cortex, and the parietal cortex.
