Table 2. Cerebral regions involved in emotional (ET) and motivational (MT) tasks when tasks were contrasted against one another ([ET > MT] and [MT > ET]).
Cerebral regions | [MT>ET] | |
---|---|---|
(x,y,z) | k | |
Temporal lobe | ||
Middle temporal gyrus | L -56;-67;19 | 85 |
Parietal lobe | ||
Angular gyrus | R 45;-75;31 | 27 |
Inferior parietal gyrus | L -46;-40;43 | 21 |
Precuneus | L/R 2;-50;58 | 45 |
Frontal lobe | ||
Middle frontal gyrus | L -46;8;52 | 57 |
Superior frontal gyrus | L -26;8;67 | 150 |
The MNI coordinates (x, y, z), the cluster extent (k = number of voxels) and the laterality (Left-L and Right-R) were indicated for each activation cluster. Results were reported with a vowel-wise threshold of p<0.001 (uncorrected for multiple comparisons, T > 3.93) and a cluster extent threshold of 20 voxels. It should be noted that no specific activation was observed for the contrast [ET > MT].
