Table 2.
Clusters of voxels that showed significantly less gray matter volume (mm3) in bilinguals than monolinguals in a VBM analysis (FDR-corrected, p < 0.05). The MNI peak coordinates (x, y, and z) of maximum intensity, and cluster size are listed. Reported clusters contain a minimum of ten contiguous voxels.
