Table 1. Brain regions displaying differential activation between high- and low-sensitivity subgroups.

Region Coordinates (mediolateral, anterior-posterior, and dorsoventral, mm) High sensitivity Low sensitivity Difference between high-sensitivity and low-sensitivity subgroups
ACC (caudal) -2, 8, 36 Freq = 6, z = 9.38 Freq = 0, z = NS Freq = 6*, z = 5.50
ACC (perigenual) -4, 18, 24 Freq = 5, z = 6.58 Freq = 1, z = 4.8 Freq = 4*, z = 3.2
SI -4, -34, 58 Freq = 4, z = 7.25 Freq = 0, z = NS Freq = 4*, z = 4.7
PFC 30, 64, 0 Freq = 4, z = 3.75 Freq = 0, z = NS Freq = 4*, z = 3.76
PFC 32, 62, -8 Freq = 4, z = 3.80 Freq = 0, z = NS Freq = 4*, z = 3.4
PFC (ventral) 32, 52, -18 Freq = 4, z = 8.21 Freq = 0, z = NS Freq = 4*, z = 5.98
Thalamus -18, -20, 14 Freq = 4, z = 6.85 Freq = 3, z = 9.63 Freq = 1, z = NS

Numbers of subjects (freq) demonstrating significant activation and z-scores (z) of pain intensity-related activation are displayed for high- and low-sensitivity subgroups. Statistically significant differences in the frequency of activation between the high- and low-sensitivity subgroups are defined by Fisher's exact test (P < 0.05, whereas significant activations (or differences) in subgroup analyses were defined by z-scores ≥3.1 and cluster significance of P < 0.005. Nonsignificant functional MRI signal changes are denoted NS
