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].
