Table. Effects of regional hypometabolism on prosocial sentiment impairment.

Relationship between regional PET hypometabolism and impaired prosocial or other-critical sentiments were assessed using multiple regression analyses. Prosocial effects were evaluated by entering prosocial scores as the variable of interest, and other -critical and dementia scores as covariates. Other-critical effects were evaluated by entering other -critical scores as the variable of interest, and prosocial and dementia scores as covariates. Results of FWE-correction over a priori regions of interest defined on the basis of previous studies are reported (see Methods).
