Brain regions modulated by EV (a) for ‘fear’ objects, (b) for ‘happy’ objects, (c) for ‘happy’ vs ‘fear’ objects

Regiona Hemisphere Brodmann’s area t Coordinates of peak significance (x y z) Voxels Post hoc
(a) EV for ‘fear’ objects
    Middle temporal gyrus Left 21 3.799 −58.5 −43.5 −0.5 19 +
    Middle temporal gyrus Left 21 4.001 −49.5 −28.5 −0.5 16 +
    Middle temporal gyrus Right 37 4.311 49.5 −61.5 −6.5 13 +
(b) EV for ‘happy’ objects
    Fusiform gyrus Right 37 4.839 28.5 −55.5 −9.5 51 +
    Fusiform gyrus Left 37 5.104 −28.5 −52.5 −9.5 19 +
(c) EV for ‘fear’ vs ‘happy’ objects
    Fusiform gyrus Left 37 −5.555 −28.5 −49.5 −9.5 10 H>F
    Lingual gyrus Right 17 −4.842 10.5 −82.5 2.5 21 H>F

All results are thresholded at P = 0.005 uncorrected and a cluster extent threshold of 10 voxels (corresponding to map-wise false-positive probability of P < 0.05). ± indicates activation/deactivation compared with baseline. H > F indicates Happy larger Fear.

aThe regions are according to the Talairach Daemon atlas (http://www.nitrc.org/projects/tal-daemon/).
