Brain regions showing significant functional MRI signal increase for the ‘planning versus baseline’ and ‘task load’ contrasts in the discordant and concordant twin groups. Anatomical location = activated brain region; L = left hemisphere; R = right hemisphere; BA = Brodmann area; MNI coordinates (mm) = location of voxel with largest effect size; Z-score: z-value of voxel with largest effect size; Inf = infinite.
