TABLE 3. Brain regions active during performance of the Stroop task.

Anatomical locations of significant clusters for main effects of fMRI BOLD activations during the Stroop task, for simple congruent, incongruent contrasts and interference (incongruent-congruent). MNI coordinates and Z score are listed for the voxels with largest effect size. Dorsolateral PFC = dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
