Selection of the regions of interest (ROIs). The pattern of brain activation was extracted from Neurosynth for the terms ‘fear’, ‘anxiety’ and ‘pain’, using a forward inference model (upper panel) and a reverse inference model (lower panel). The blue area denotes the activation corresponding to any of the three terms. The red area denotes the activation corresponding to any two of the terms. The yellow area denotes the activation common to all three terms. These regions included the bilateral anterior insula, the dorsal cingulate cortex, and the bilateral amygdala.
