We noticed an error in one of our presented analyses. One mismatched brain image was accidentally included in the voxel-based-morphometry (VBM) analysis. Thus, arousal and valence values were consecutively not properly assigned to the morphological brain data of the other included participants. Of three analyses implemented in this study (VSLM, ROI-based), only the VBM analysis was affected but the others remain untouched. Therefore, we re-conducted the whole VBM analysis with the correct allocation of data. The corrected results showed changes in the whole-brain and regional correlations compared to the originally presented results. However, the correlations in the expected areas of the original manuscript remain significant for arousal and valence difference scores.

Fortunately, these results do not impact the main implications and neither invalidate the conclusions derived from the study nor introduce differing directions of inference. The right superior frontal gyrus (SFG/BA9) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC/BA32) remain significant at whole-brain p < 0.001 uncorrected level, and the ROI analysis still showed significant correlations with gray matter intensities in the right SFG (BA9).

The corrected results affect Figures 6, 7, Tables 5, 6, and small parts in results and discussion which are attached below.

Results

The sentence in the results section for the arousal scores

“… more specifically the right SFG (BA 9–32; see Figure 6A), left insula, basal ganglia and mid temporal gyrus, and bilateral cerebellum (See Table 5A for MNI coordinates).”

should be replaced by:

“… more specifically the right SFG (BA 9–32, see Figure 6A), orbital gyrus, leftmiddle occipital gyrus, right angular gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, left rolandic operculum, right inferior parietal cortex and bilateral mid-frontal gyrus (See Table 5A for MNI coordinates).”

The sentence in the results section for the valence scores

“For the valence domain, this relation appeared at the left SFG (BA 9–32; see Figure 6B), right SFG, left mid and inferior frontal gyri, temporal cortex, parietal cortex, basal ganglia and cerebellum (See Table 6B, for MNI coordinates).”

should be replaced by:

“For the valence domain, this relation appeared at the left SFG (BA10; see Figure 6B), right SFG (BA9) including ACC (BA32), left mid and inferior frontal gyri, temporal cortex, parietal cortex, parahippocampal gyri and opercula (See Table 6B, for MNI coordinates).”

Discussion

The sentences in the discussion section:

“For arousal REAPPself, we found positive associations with more subcortical regions as the insula, whereas valence was associated with highly cognitive areas as the middle and inferior frontal gyrus, as well as with the inferior parietal lobule. Although both of the constructs are assumed to be difficult to separate in the subjective experience (Kuppens et al., 2013), the obtained results lead to the assumption that arousal down-regulation comprise the involvement of limbic regions mainly related to emotional awareness and physiological responding, whereas valence down-regulation is a more elaborated process, in which highly cognitive regions are involved (Citron et al., 2014).”

should be replaced by:

“For arousal REAPPself, we found positive associations with the right orbital gyrus and left middle occipital gyrus whereas the down-regulation of both (valence and arousal) were associated with highly cognitive areas as the middle and inferior frontal gyrus, as well as with the inferior parietal lobule. Although both of the constructs are assumed to be difficult to separate in the subjective experience (Kuppens et al., 2013), the obtained results lead to the assumption that arousal down-regulation comprise the involvement of limbic regions mainly related to emotional awareness and multisensory integration (Ongur and Price, 2000). In contrast, the down-regulation of both arousal and valence is an elaborated process, in which highly cognitive regions are involved. These findings are in accordance with an earlier report, in which arousal and valence are described as separable dimensions (Citron et al., 2014).”
