Fig. 2.

Conjunction analyses for topographical convergence across brain activity related to moral cognition and theory of mind (ToM) or empathy. Left panel overlapping activation patterns between the meta-analysis on moral cognition and the difference analysis between ToM and empathy (cluster-forming threshold: p < 0.05). Right bottom panel overlapping activation patterns between the meta-analysis on moral cognition and the difference analysis between empathy and ToM (cluster-forming threshold: p < 0.05). Right top panel sagittal and coronal slices of juxtaposed results from the meta-analyses on moral cognition (green) and empathy (red) to highlight similar convergence in the posterior cingulate cortex and amygdala (extent threshold: k = 10 voxels to exclude presumably incidental results).
