Table 3.

Brain regions where activity correlated significantly with clinical measures: A. bladder diary reports of daytime urge incontinence episodes (p < 0.05, r > 0.48); B. pad measurements of daytime urine leakage (p < 0.05, r>0.48); and C. psychological burden measured by Urge Impact Scale (URIS-24) (p < 0.01, r > 0.63).
