For studies with drug administration, activations are reported for the placebo group or for main effects across groups. Unless specified by (–), brain region activations are positive. Peak activations were from contrasts and parametric analyses and whole-brain and region-of-interest (ROI) analyses, using labels reported by the original authors,
