  • DMPFC, Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex; PFC, prefrontal cortex; VMPFC, ventromedial prefrontal cortex; Know, know ratings. Activations in table were thresholded voxelwise at p < 0.001 and with a cluster size set to control for multiple comparisons over whole brain at p < 0.05 (23–25 voxels or 735–799 mm3). t statistics were converted to Z-scores for reporting. Coordinates are reported in MNI space, as in SPM8. Voxel size was 3 × 3 × 3.2 mm.
