Imaging results regarding rTPJ from the fMRI experiment. (a) An example of using the Theory-of-Mind localizer to individually identify rTPJ ROI associated with cognitive perspective taking27. (b) Definition of individual rTPJ ROI on the sagittal section and the coronal section. The color bar shows the number of overlapped individual ROIs. L = left, R = right, A = anterior, P = posterior. (c) Parametric modulation for ΔMin and ΔEV in the rTPJ activity. The interaction of the modulatory effect (ΔMin/ΔEV) and the task condition (Self/Other) was significant. (d) Significant correlation between participants’ self-reported empathic-concern scores and the difference between the modulatory effects of ΔMin on the rTPJ activity in the Other and Self conditions.
