Results of whole-brain regression identifying brain regions showing a linear increase in response with self-esteem scores

Brain region	BA	x	y	z	t	Voxels
Negative correlations
Left mPFC	10	−9	57	−15	3.54*	45
Right mPFC	32/11	18	23	−14	3.43*	20
Thalamus		18	−19	20	3.55	20
Positive correlations
Right superior frontal gyrus	8/9	12	39	24	3.46	14

Note: Regions listed exceeded threshold of P < 0.005, uncorrected, with at least 10 contiguous voxels. Coordinates represent spatial location of activation in Talairach and Tournoux (1988) atlas space. Regions denoted with “*” were also identified in a targeted analysis of mPFC effects at P < 0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons.
