Temporal pole activations revealed during direct gaze, anger, and absence of pointing gesture: discrepancies and overlaps. The activated clusters in both hippocampus (EC and CA) and amygdala found during Direct versus Averted (in red), Anger versus Neutral (in green), and Pointing absent versus present (in blue) were projected on sagittal (upper part) and coronal sections (bottom part) of the MNI template. Direct gaze was associated with right hippocampus activation, while the absence of pointing gesture was associated with the left hippocampus. The right amygdala showed significant, but independent, effects for both direct gaze and anger conditions. AMG = amygdala; Hipp = hippocampus.
