In the table, significant peaks and t values of areas activated during empathizing and imitation (pooled in a single ANOVA) of emotional faces in all subjects are reported. For each task, results of the contrast emotions (vs. neutral faces) are reported. Peaks are reported in MNI coordinates (Fig. 3). In bold is reported the area which results to be more active in Ds when compared to F. SMC = sensory‐motor cortex; vPMC = ventral premotor cortex; Pre‐SMA = presupplementary motor area; STS = superior temporal sulcus; MTG = middle temporal gyrus; ACC = anterior cingulate cortex; TP= temporal pole.
