Positive Z-scores in Neurosynth’s association maps for different mental processes

Search term	vmPFC [0, 43, −8]	Ventral striatum [−10, 6, 2]	Maximum Z-score
Reward	6.56	14.82	28.56
Value	4.01	5.05	11.68
Cognitive control	0	0	8.94
Emotion	0	0	18.93

Note: Values correspond to Z-scores. The maximum Z-score corresponds to brain voxels with the maximum association to the search term, and that provide a references for the Z-scores of the [x, y, z] MNI coordinates of interest located our ROIs in the vmPFC and ventral striatum.
