Note. For the anatomical localization the macro-anatomic area is indicated and, when provided, the cytoarchitectonic location is indicated (in parentheses). Analyses were performed with a threshold of p < 0.001 (uncorrected) and 15 voxels for the conjunction analysis, and p < 0.001 (uncorrected) and 10 voxels for the subtraction analyses.
