The threshold size of activation was P < 0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons, when the height threshold was set at Z > 2.58. x, y, and z are stereotaxic coordinates (mm).

Inf, Z value > 8.0; Hem, hemisphere; R, right; L, left.

^*The search volume for activation within the left IFG and pSTS region (including the middle temporal gyrus) was limited to each of the anatomically defined regions (Shattuck et al., 2008).

^a-g Probability values on cytoarchitectonic maps (Amunts et al., 1999, 2000, 2005; Geyer, 2003) are as follows:

^a90% for the amygdala;

^b50% for the hippocampus and 40% for the amygdala;

^c40% for area 44 and 40% for area 45;

^d20% for area 44 and 30% for area 45;

^e40% for area 6;

^f30% for area 17;

^g20% for area 44 and 40% for area 45.
