Peak activation is significant when corrected for multiple comparisons across the whole brain using Family Wise Error (FWE), p<.05

*

Peak activation is significant when corrected for multiple comparisons (FWE, p<.05) within the region of interest using the Small Volume Correction (SVC) tool in SPM

#

Peak activation is significant when corrected for multiple comparisons with False Discovery Rate, p<.05 within the region of interest using the Small Volume Correction (SVC) tool in SPM

Note: Cluster volume listed in parentheses indicates that the activation is incorporated into the bigger cluster directly above
