Fig. 1: Lesion locations for the vmPFC lesion patients and LC group.

a, Patients in the vmPFC group (n = 25) had focal damage to vmPFC, mostly caused by subarachnoid haemorrhage, with lesions spanning lateral portions (area 13) of bilateral vmPFC and subregions on the medial surface (areas 14, 25 and 32). b, Patients in the LC group (n = 15) also had damage mostly caused by subarachnoid haemorrhage but to regions outside of vmPFC, and also not covering dorsal mPFC or ACC (Methods).
