NMR, no monetary reward; L, left; R, right; BA, Brodmann's area; MNI, Montréal Neurological Institute. The extent threshold was set at p = 0.05 with a correction for multiple comparisons at the cluster level for the entire brain. The height threshold was set at p = 0.005 (uncorrected) at the voxel level.
