Brain regions with significant differences between moderate and high doses of alcohol. Results are presented within voxels that survive an omnibus F-test for dose effects (q<.05 FDR). All results in this contrast surpass p<.001 uncorrected, activation extent 20 contiguous voxel thresholds appropriate to these planned comparisons. Brain regions are reported using reference to stereotactic MNI atlas labeling, along with peak t score for each regional activation difference and its x, y, z coordinates.
