This research is aimed at investigating the characteristics of activity of brain areas that underlie action execution and are modulated by the error detection mechanism under conditions of various potential monetary benefits of manipulative truthful and false actions. It is shown that the implementation of potentially less profitable deceptive actions is associated with a relatively higher level of functional activity of the inferior frontal gyrus, a structure that receives information from structures associated with the error detection mechanism. This effect was revealed in experimental conditions with less reinforced deceptive actions, both in comparison with relatively more rewarded deception, and with manipulative truthful actions, regardless of their reward. Moreover, the increase in the profit of deceptive actions is accompanied by the disappearance of a statistically significant difference in the activity of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, which has been observed in the comparison of equally low profitable truthful and false actions. These results indicate a possible mechanism of expected monetary benefit influence on the manipulative decision to lie, according to which, the prefrontal structures underlying control of behavior show less susceptibility to the involvement of the error detection mechanism in maintaining deceptive actions.

Настоящее исследование посвящено изучению характеристик активности зон мозга, вовлекаемых в обеспечение процессов управления действиями и испытывающих модулирующее влияние со стороны механизма детекции ошибок в условиях различной потенциальной монетарной выгоды манипулятивных правдивых и ложных действий. Показано, что реализация потенциально менее выгодных ложных действий характеризуется относительно бо́льшим уровнем функциональной активности структуры, получающей информацию от структур мозга, связанных с обеспечением детекции ошибок, – левой нижней лобной извилины. Данный эффект выявлен для экспериментальных условий с менее подкрепляемыми ложными действиями как по сравнению с относительно более вознаграждаемой ложью, так и с манипулятивными правдивыми действиями вне зависимости от характера их поощрения. Более того, повышение выгодности ложных действий сопровождается исчезновением статистически значимой разницы в активности вентролатеральной префронтальной коры, которая наблюдалась в сравнении одинаково низковыгодных правдивых и ложных действий. Полученный результат указывает на возможный механизм влияния ожидаемой монетарной выгоды на принятие манипулятивного решения солгать, в соответствии с которым префронтальные структуры, обеспечивающие управление поведением, демонстрируют относительно меньшую восприимчивость к вовлечению детектора ошибок в обеспечение ложных действий.
