Fig. 3.

Spatial distribution of significant increases in brain activation in men and women for the comparison of noise to the baseline. Clusters are significant at p < 0.01, uncorrected for multiple comparisons. L=left hemisphere, y = −20 means a coronal plane 20 mm posterior to the anterior commissure, z = 8 means a horizontal plane 8 mm dorsal to the anterior commissure. In contrast to Fig. 1c, at an uncorrected level men do show activation in PAC, but it is much smaller than in the female group
