The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has been consistently linked to response conflict during the Stroop effect, as it is activated when participants experience conflicting information and need to exert effort to select a response. The ventral anterior cingulate cortex (vACC) is more associated with affective processing and the dorsal and ventral striatum are more involved in reward processing and habit formation, respectively.
