From: Human pursuance of equality hinges on mental processes of projecting oneself into the perspectives of others and into future situations

The caudate nucleus was activated by an equality decision, but the dACC activation depended on the presence of the VoI. An equality decision increased the activation of only the caudate nucleus and thus reduced activation of the dACC. The VoI condition reduced the activation of both brain regions but more so that of the dACC than the caudate nucleus. When the effects of the two factors (an equality decision and the VoI) were combined (i.e., when an equality decision was made behind the VoI), activation of the dACC was greater than that of the caudate nucleus. Caudate nucleus: 4, 10, 8; FWE-corrected p = 0.029 for multiple comparisons across the whole brain; k = 13. dACC: 4, 16, 38; FWE-corrected p = 0.006 for multiple comparisons across the whole brain; k = 116.
