Differences in brain activations between female and male participants in risky versus safe response and punishment feedback versus risky-response contrasts in whole-brain analysis

BA Side Coordinate

Females > males
Risky versus safe response Middle frontal gyrus 46 R 28 46 26 16 4.01
(Risk taking) Insula 13 R 42 6 2 59 4.50
Middle temporal gyrus 20 L −58 −20 −20 22 4.33
Punishment feedback versus risky response Inferior frontal gyrus 48 L −30 30 14 41 4.78
(Punishment) Precentral gyrus 6 L −20 −22 62 25 4.46
Paracentral lobule 4 L −10 −22 74 18 4.19
Postcentral gyrus 3 L −28 −28 50 28 4.18

Note: No significantly stronger activation in male participants, relative to female participants, was observed. Extended cluster = 10 voxels. L = left hemisphere; R = right hemisphere; x, y, z in Montreal Neurological Institute coordinates.
