Table 1.

Cortical and subcortical regions (45 in each cerebral hemisphere, 90 in total) as anatomically defined by a prior template image in standard stereotaxic space. (The abbreviations listed are those used in this paper, which differ slightly from the original abbreviations by Tzourio-Mazoyer et al. (2002). All regions are bilaterally symmetric; left-hand and right-hand sided homologues are distinguished by the suffixes L and R, respectively.)
