The coordinates (x, y, z) locate the maxima within an area of rCBF increase associated with a given contrast; z values correspond to P < 0.01 (uncorrected for multiple comparisons). The anatomical locations and the Brodmann area (BA) estimates are derived from Talairach and Tournoux (29). R., right; L., left.
