Brain Areas with Larger Responses to Emotional Pictures than Neutral Pictures

Center of Gravity (mm)
Brain Area Hem BA x y z Size (mm3) t(26)Mmax
Posterior Parietal and Occipital Lobes L 39 −38 −70 17 19,595 5.97
R 31 30 −68 23 33,585 7.48
Inferior Parietal Lobule L 40 −57 −32 30 2,975 4.90
R 40 52 −36 31 1,067 4.97
Anterior Cingulate Gyrus R 32 −2 38 12 2,234 5.27
Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex R 6 44 −1 31 1,085 5.53

Note: These brain areas were identified from a whole-brain, voxelwise contrast of responses to emotional (Erotic, Romantic, Mutilation, and Sad) versus neutral pictures in all 27 participants. The statistical threshold for this analysis was a voxelwise p < .005 and a minimum cluster size of 1000 mm3. Hem = Hemisphere; L = Left; R = Right; x,y,z = Talairach coordinates for the location of the center of gravity of the activation cluster, in mm; Size = volume of the activation cluster; t(26)max = Maximum t statistic observed in the activation cluster for the contrast between emotional and neutral pictures.
