The coordinates are reported in Talairach space. Four of the studies (Kesler-West et al. 2001; Maurer et al. 2007; Pourtois et al. 2005; Zhang et al. 2008) are from the sample of studies in Berman et al. (2010). Two of the studies (Fitzgerald et al. 2006; Wright and Liu 2006) compared emotional and neutral faces with a control category. To extract face selective voxels in the amygdala, they performed a conjunction analysis of the individual face contrasts with the control category
