  • Note:—The percentage of significant voxels for CBF and ATT are shown (ie, % CBF-sig voxels and % ATT-sig voxels). ROI-adjusted CBF-sig and ATT-sig are shown, achieved by excluding voxels with a poor fit. For group comparison, a indicates a significant difference (P < .05). For within-VB analysis, b indicates a significant within-VB difference (P < .05). OCC indicates occipital cortex; PAR, parietal cortex.
