Retrosplenial cortex	30	B		5.61	27	−51	9
Parahippocampus	27	B		5.57	33	−36	−3
Paracentral gyrus	3–6	B		5.54	−30	−18	36
Cerebellum (area 8/9)		R	52	3.92	18	−60	−48
Brainstem		B	198	3.61	0	−42	−45
Exteroception > interoception
DMPFC	32/8	B	1969	7.28	−3	27	51
Inf. parietal, visual	39/40/17–18	L	5663	6.42	−45	−54	51
DLPFC, operculum, head of caudate	44–47/6/25	B	2283	5.75	−51	12	30
Inf. parietal, angular	7/39/40	R	866	4.92	33	−57	54
Inferior temporal pole	38	R	111	4.29	57	0	−39

Note: R, right; L, left; B, bilateral; in the case of bilateral activations, the peak listed is for the side with the greater peak activation.
