Activations of three MM target conditions in the left ATL and left VLPFC (spherical ROIs centered at the peak voxels of each cluster). (A) In the left ATL, the priming effect (i.e., reduction of activation) is observed both in TM-MM and Fish-MM conditions. The priming effect for Fish-MM is larger than that for TM-MM (i.e. priming effects are proportional to semantic distance from MM). In the left VLPFC, the priming effect is shown in the TM-MM condition. (B) Conceptual figures represent differential roles between the left ATL and left VLPFC during semantic processing. Dolphins are represented close to fish in the left ATL, whereas they are categorized as mammal in the left VLPFC in this context. Error bars show standard error. *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.
