Clusters significant at 0.05 after FWE correction. L = left, R = right, a = anterior, p = posterior, dmPFC = dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, IFG = inferior frontal gyrus, PCC = posterior cingulate cortex, MTL = medial temporal lobe, sTP = superior temporal pole, MTG = middle temporal gyrus, AG = angular gyrus, OFC = orbitofrontal cortex, vATL = ventral anterior temporal lobe, PHG = parahippocampal gyrus and ITC = inferior temporal cortex.
