AB  - Anticipation for future confers great benefits to human well-being and mental 
      health. However, previous work focus on how people's well-being correlate with 
      brain activities during perception of emotional stimuli, rather than anticipation 
      for the future events. Here, the current study investigated how well-being 
      relates to neural circuitry underlying the anticipating process of future desired 
      events. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, 40 
      participants were scanned while they were performing an emotion anticipation 
      task, in which they were instructed to anticipate the positive or neutral events. 
      The results showed that bilateral medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) were activated 
      during anticipation for positive events relative to neutral events, and the 
      enhanced brain activation in MPFC was associated with higher level of well-being. 
      The findings suggest a neural mechanism by which the anticipation process to 
      future desired events correlates to human well-being, which provide a 
      future-oriented view on the neural sources of well-being.
