Fig. 4. — Brain activation when tracking high and low popular peers. (A) The bilateral inferior parietal lobe (IPL) significantly tracks adolescents low in perceived popularity, such that neural activation increased as unpopularity increased in low-popular peers. Data are thresholded at the voxel level P < 0.001 (2 sided) with a cluster threshold k = 84, N = 117. To visualize how the IPL tracks peer low in popularity, we plotted the parameter estimates (β) from the activated IPL in each condition (see Supplementary Figure S4. The x-axis represents the absolute value of perceived popularity score, such that high z-scores represent the sociometric statuses of the most popular peers and the most unpopular peers, and the y-axis represents mean brain activation in the IPL.
