Effects in three regions of the pain network for both CG (N=11) and NCG (N=12) in response to pictures of the deceased and grief-related words. Significant activations in one group (p < .005, 10 voxels) were examined and reported for the other group. T and p values are listed for each group separately. Cluster sizes were determined at the threshold of .005, 10 voxels (if the significance did not reach this threshold, cluster sizes were not comparable and therefore not listed). dACC = dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, PAG = periaqueductal gray
