The coordinates of maximally activated voxels are given in MNI space where x, y, and z coordinates represent the medial-lateral, anterior-posterior, and superior-inferior distances (in millimeters) from the anterior commissure. SMA, Supplementary motor area; PMC, premotor cortex; M1, primary motor cortex; SFG, superior frontal gyrus; PFC, prefrontal cortex; aMCC, anterior mid cingulate cortex; pMCC, posterior mid-cingulate cortex; SM, primary somatosensory/motor cortex; S2, secondary somatosensory cortex; aINS, anterior insula; pINS, posterior insula; PCC, posterior cingulate cortex; IFG, inferior frontal gyrus.
All activations identified at cluster-level significance of p < 0.05 (corrected).
