From: Transient contribution of left posterior parietal cortex to cognitive restructuring
Brain areas in which activity while rating one's own degree of belief correlated with the individual index of wavering in belief (ΔDOB).
Brain areas showed activity correlating with individual ΔDOB while the subjects answered the DOB questions. In parallel with its activity during the three cognitive restructuring questions (Fig. 3), the left posterior parietal cortex showed a positive correlation with ΔDOB. Clusters that survived the height threshold of p < 0.001, uncorrected and an extent threshold of 10 voxels are rendered on the sections (a) and on a smoothed brain template (b). Positive correlations with ΔDOB (red to yellow) were found in the bilateral supplementary motor cortex, bilateral medial prefrontal cortex, right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, right middle temporal cortex and left amygdala and a negative correlation (blue to purple) was found in the left anterior insula.
