Same data as in Fig. 3 and 4.

a Location of clusters with voxel-level significance P < 0.01, extent k > 125 and corrected cluster-level significance P < 0.05.

b P = cluster-level significance corrected for multiple comparisons for the entire brain.

c k = cluster size in voxels (voxel size = 2 × 2 × 2 mm).

d x, y, z are coordinates in MNI space of the most significant voxel (maximum Z-score) for the cluster.

e ZE score for most significant voxel in the cluster.
