Locus and extent of peak activations in brain regions during pleasantness judgments of verbs
| Contrast | Activation locus (BRODMANN area) | Co‐ordinates | Z‐value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| x | y | z | |||
| All verbs minus baseline | Left posterolateral temporal (22, 21, 37) | −64 | −48 | 12 | 3.63 |
| Bilateral prefrontal (10, 9) | −4 | 40 | −12 | 2.72 | |
| Bilateral ventral temporal‐occipital (18, 19, 17) | 0 | −92 | 4 | 4.27 | |
| Motion verbs minus cognition verbsa | Left ventral temporal‐occipital (19) | −8 | −64 | 0 | 3.77 |
| Bilateral prefrontal (10, 11) | 12 | 36 | −12 | 3.15 | |
| Bilateral caudate | 16 | 16 | 20 | 3.46 | |
| Cognition verbs minus motion verbsa | Left posterolateral temporal (22, 21, 37) | −56 | −68 | 8 | 3.06 |

These contrasts were performed borrowing the statistical procedure for a conjunction analysis, using [verbs minus baseline] as a statistical mask.
