Brain regions showing correlation of trait empathy questionnaire scores with functional connectivity values within the Default Mode Network, Salience Network, left Central Executive Network, and right Central Executive Network components. Talairach coordinates for the peak voxel in each cluster are given. Right (R) and left (L) sides of the brain are indicated; BA denotes Brodmann Area, if applicable, and the number of voxels in each of the clusters with corresponding r- and p-values.
