Figure 2 Fig. 2. Map of brain areas commonly activated in social decision-making studies. (A) The lateral view shows the location of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and superior temporal sulcus (STS). (B) The sagittal section shows the location of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). (C) The coronal section [cut along the purple line in (B)] shows the location of the insula (INS) and amygdala (AMY). Areas circled are those often associated with ToM processes.
