BA refers to putative Brodmann’s Area; L and R refer to left and right hemispheres; x, y, and z refer to the left–right, anterior–posterior, and inferior–superior dimensions, respectively; Z refers to the Z-score at those coordinates (local maxima or submaxima). Cluster corrected for multiple comparisons, Z>1.96, P<0.05.
