The Focus on Neuroscience box "Brain Reward When Making Eye Contact with Attractive People" describes an fMRI study. The results of the study showed that when we make direct eye contact with a physically attractive person, a brain area called the ventral striatum is activated.

• B) suppresses the instinctual fight-or-flight response.
• C) triggers the instinctual fight-or-flight response.
