The Mood-Improving Effect of Viewing Images of Nature and Its Neural Substrate

The Mood-Improving Effect of Viewing Images of Nature and Its Neural Substrate

It has been recently suggested that contact with nature improves mood via reducing the activity of the prefrontal cortex. However, the specific regions within the prefrontal cortex that underlie this effect remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify the specific regions involved in the mood...
