Revealed greater activation in bilateral anterior insula and central operculum L-660711 sodium salt site during the trust game followed by cold relative to warm temperature (Table 3; Figure 5). In addition, right VMPFC, right buy RG7800 primary somatosensory cortex, right premotor cortex and right primary motor cortex were also more active during the decisionFig. 2 Brain regions that showed greater activation during experience of cold than neutral temperature. Bilateral insular-opercular cortex showed uniquely greater activation than baseline.Table 2 Brain regions that were sensitive to warm and cold temperatures: activity contrast between warmth and coldness (Z threshold ?2.4, P < 0.05)Region of activation Warm (-neutral) > Cold (-neutral) PCC Inferior medial frontal Cold (-neutral) > Warm (-neutral) R Primary somatosensory Temporal pole R Insula/Central operculum PCC, posterior cingulate cortex.

Such activation was absent in response to warm temperature relative to a neutral temperature baseline. Second, we contrasted cold and warm conditions directly. Across two runs, regions that were more active in response to cold than neutral, and warmth than neutral were subtracted from each other. Consistent with previous findings ?(Davis et al., 1998; Craig et al., 2000; Maihofner et al., 2002), cold recruited greater activation near posterior insularopercular regions than warmth (Table 2).
