    Corrected a neuroscience citation: Tali Sharot's optimism-bias research was cited as implicating the nucleus accumbens, but her actual published finding implicated the rostral anterior cingulate cortex and amygdala; also corrected the journal from Nature Neuroscience to Nature, matching her original 2007 finding.

    Before

    Article attributed the optimism-bias brain finding to nucleus accumbens activity and Nature Neuroscience.

    After

    Corrected to the rostral anterior cingulate cortex, matching Sharot's real published finding, and corrected the journal to Nature.

    Why: Verified the specific brain regions and journal against Sharot's real published papers; found the region substituted and the journal muddled between two related but distinct papers.
