Percentages in the cells refer to the proportion of studies within a category in relation to the total number of all studies (top panel), or total number of mentalizing studies (middle and bottom panels). The NeuroSynth topics were selected from an available set of 50 topics extracted from the abstracts of all articles in the NeuroSynth database as of July 2018. Topic words between parentheses are selected as most representatives from the first two most sampled terms (Poldrack et al., 2012). Italics refer to the means across ROI1 to ROI4 (all Crus II) = mean value of the four Crus II Regions of Interest.
