  • Note:—FWE indicates family-wise error.

  • * Statistical significance after correction for multiple comparisons; inferences made at the level of individual voxels (FWE correction).

  • Number of contiguous voxels that surpassed the initial threshold of P <0.01 (uncorrected) in the statistical parametric maps.

  • Z-scores for the voxel of maximal statistical significance.

  • § Talairach and Tournoux coordinates of the voxel of maximal statistical significance within each cluster.
