The coordinates were obtained from the most significantly activated voxel from the conjunction analysis or the separate analysis only on the auditory-cued movement for each individual. All PcG zones, except for the hand ipsi-PcG in the right hemisphere, yielded data from all subjects. Listed are Talairach and Tournoux’s coordinates converted from the Montreal Neurological Institute coordinates. R, right; L, left; Conv., convexity part of PcG; PcS, caudal bank of precentral sulcus; CS, rostral bank of PcG; A&V, conjunction analysis for auditory-cued and visual-cued movements; A, analysis on the auditory-cued movement only.
