Notes: MTG = Middle temporal gyrus, MFG = Middle frontal gyrus, SFG = Superior frontal gyrus, DMPFC = Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, PCC = Posterior cingulate cortex, Parahipp. = Parahippocampal, G = gyrus; l.m. = local maximum. Results are corrected for multiple comparisons (p < .05, FWE-corrected, k > 20).
