, data are from the same subjects using the same task, but are analyzed differently or examine two different physiological measures;
MAP = mean arterial blood pressure; SBP = systolic blood pressure; dACC = dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; AI = anterior insula; MPFC = medial prefrontal cortex; DMPFC = dorsomedial prefrontal cortex; pACC = perigenual anterior cingulate cortex; PCC = posterior cingulate cortex; VMPFC = ventromedial prefrontal cortex
