a Brain responses to the fearful face according to somatotopic condition. Comparison of the brain response to the fearful face under the FBS and DBS conditions revealed enhanced activity in the bilateral regions of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC, Brodmann area 32) and the right region of middle temporal gyrus (Brodmann area 37) under the FBS condition (p < 0.05; cluster-wise corrected). b Functional connectivity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and extrastriate body area (EBA) according to somatotopic condition. The ACC and EBA, which encode different bodily sensations, were used as seed regions in the functional connectivity analysis. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), insula, operculum, fusiform gyrus, cerebellum, and extrastriate cortex (V4) showed somatotopic pattern-dependent connectivity modulation with the ACC (top). The amygdala (basolateral amygdala; BLA), insula, dlPFC, supramarginal gyrus, and left MTG showed somatotopic pattern-dependent connectivity modulation with the right EBA (p < 0.05; cluster-wise corrected, bottom)
