No reliable regions were found for individual consistency type in Impaired Readers. Note: Clusters presented are more than 10 contiguous voxels surviving an alpha of 0.001 (uncorrected). All areas survive FDR corrected p < 0.05. Volume (Vol) of clusters is indicated in voxels of 3 mm3 for the maximal peak. BA: Brodmann’s Areas, x, y, z: Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinates, t: statistical t-value, R: right, L: left.
