*All regions showed greater activity for aversive anticipation except for the cuneus and angular gyrus, which were more active for neutral anticipation. Activation coordinates are provided in MNI space. Maximum t- and P-values are presented for illustrative purposes and are not intended as providing an independent test of significance. IFG, inferior frontal gyrus; BNST, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; PAG, periaqueductal gray.
