Spatial coordinates, anatomic locations, and cluster size of the local maxima in the group analysis, showing significant activations (height-threshold p = 0.0001, extent-threshold p = 0.05, FWE-corrected for multiple comparisons). CinG = cingulate gyrus, IFG = inferior frontal gyrus, Ins = insula, IPL = inferior parietal lobule, L = left hemisphere, MedFG = medial frontal gyrus, MFG = middle frontal gyrus, Oper = opercularis, PrecG = precentral gyrus, R = right hemisphere, SFG = superior frontal gyrus, STG = superior temporal gyrus, TP = temporal pole, tri = triangularis.
