Note: Whole-brain correlation of chronological age and brain activation to social exclusion > fair play. A whole-brain covariate analysis with age was performed in the contrast of social exclusion – fair play and assessed at a statistical threshold of p < .01, k = 34. Talairach coordinates refer to the voxel with the maximum signal change in each region of interest. Statistics reported are for the average of all voxels in the region of significance (avg). Region sizes are reported in structural voxels (1 × 1 × 1 mm). Abbreviations: ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), superior temporal sulcus (STS), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), middle temporal gyrus (MTG), middle cingulate cortex (mCC).
