^at ≥ 2.82, P < 0.01; t ≥ 3.79, P < 0.001, corrected. OP = opercular cortex.

Labels were generated using SPM's anatomy toolbox; however, where there was no cytoarchitectonic information available, a Brodmann area is given. MNI co-ordinates are—LPI (i.e. negative indicates left, posterior and inferior directions).
