The regions in the table represent the components of main clusters produced by the 3 × 2 ANOVAs. Regions 1–4 constitute the large left frontal/temporal cluster with differential response to 100% disgust; regions 5 & 6 constitute right middle/inferior temporal cluster with differential response to 100% disgust; region 7 represents a cluster with differential response to 50% fear. BA, Brodmann area; D – disgust; F – fear.
