(A) Searchlight analyses identified adjacent, but nonoverlapping subregions of anterior lmSTC that reliably encoded information about agent identity (medial, blue) and patient identity (lateral, red). (B) Post hoc analyses find that these adjacent regions differ significantly in the information they encode. These analyses define each subject's agent and patient subregions using data from other subjects, and the statistics computed within each subject's agent/patient region reflect the average accuracy of all voxel neighborhoods across that region. (C) Across subjects, medial portions of anterior lmSTC preferentially encode agent information, whereas lateral portions of anterior lmSTC preferentially encode patient information.
