Whole-brain analyses; flexible-factorial ANOVA; threshold = P < 0.05 FWE corrected, extent threshold = 20 voxels; Moral = combined SE and IND dilemmas, SE = social-ethical dilemmas, IND = individual gain vs collective losses dilemmas, BL = (weighted) high-level baseline; ASD = patients with autism spectrum disorder; HC = Healthy controls; L = left; R = right, BA = Brodmann’s Area; N.S. = not significant.
