Significant activation clusters associated with the perception of fairness and unfairness

Brain region	Hemisphere	x	y	z	No. of voxels	Z

—VMPFC	R	10	53	−10	355	6.04
—Posterior insula	L	−53	−24	22	468	6.65
—Posterior insula	R	52	4	4	96	6.34
—Posterior cingulate	L	−11	−24	46	145	6.65
—Superior temporal sulcus	L	−60	−20	−10	96	5.99
Clusters correlating with unfairness (amount of chips taken on unfair trials) vs fair trials
—ACC	R	3	39	25	576	7.77
—VLPFC	L	−46	42	8	249	7.8
—DLPFC	L	−36	25	42	(same cluster as L VLPFC)	5.94
—VLPFC	R	45	46	8	411	6.93
