From provocation to aggression: the neural network

BMC Neuroscience

Table 1 Activations for whole sample of all subjects

Brain areas	L/R	X	Y	Z	T	p-value	Cluster size
Brain areas	L/R	(MNI coordinates)			T	p-value	Cluster size
Aggression after high provocation > aggression after low provocation
Medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) + rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) + orbitofrontal cortex (OFC)	R	10	32	54	6.48	<.001	5323
Anterior angular gyrus (part of inferior parietal gyrus)	R	52	– 54	40	4.64	< .001	668
Insula	L	– 30	20	– 18	5.44	< .001	397
Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) + ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC)	R	56	28	20	5.57	< .001	277
Aggression after low provocation > aggression after high provocation
No suprathreshold activations
High provocation > low provocation
rACC + mPFC	R/L	14	40	2	5.54	< .001	819
Thalamus	R/L	10	2	– 2	5.60	< .001	792
Low provocation > high provocation
No suprathreshold activations

Activation cluster of all subjects, p < 0.001 and cluster-level p(FWE-corrected) < 0.05
