Listen, Learn, Like! Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Involved in the Mere Exposure Effect in Music

<table>Visualization of brain regions related to exposure effect. Surface rendering of the statistical activation map of the exposure effect in listening to melodies (areas showing increased activity with increased previous exposure).
