Neurosynth term/function (www.neurosynth.org); N/A = not available in the Neurosynth atlas.
Hemisphere: R, right, L, left
Cluster size; number of contiguous voxels with p< 0.01.
x, y, and z coordinates in MNI space.
Familywise error corrected at the cluster level.
All results significant at p< .05, cluster-level family-wise error correction.
Follow-up t-tests revealed all significant main effects were the result of greater brain activation in the own vs. unfamiliar (own > unfamiliar) contrast. There were no significant differences in ROI activation for the unfamiliar > own contrast.
