a–c Combined raincloud-box and whisker plots of the beta values for anger-, sadness-, and happiness-specific activation in the OFC, MPFC, and ACC, respectively. The box bounds the IQR (interquartile range) divided by the median, and Tukey-style whiskers extend to a maximum of 1.5 × IQR beyond the box. n = 36 healthy subjects. *V = 489, p = 0.007. OFC orbitofrontal cortex, MPFC medial prefrontal cortex, ACC anterior cingulate cortex.
