Notes: Region: R = right, L = left. BA = Brodmann’s Area. Talairach coordinates follow the convention of the Talairach and Tournoux atlas (Talairach & Tournoux, 1988). Positive coordinate values indicate left (x), ant. (y), and Superior (z).

^*MNI (SPM) equivalent coordinates were calculated using the GingerALE Convert Foci program (see Table 2 for details). t_max= t score for the beta coefficient from the linear regression analysis of activation (faces > diverse objects) against the natural logarithm of age at the maximum intensity voxel.
