a Left-hand columns represent the significant clusters identified using SPM voxel-wise regression of the regional cerebral blood flow scans acquired during VSEQ performance. Left cerebellothalamic connectivity values were entered as the covariate of interest in this analysis.

The right-most column represents the correlation coefficients (and P-values) for these regions computed using regional cerebral blood flow values for each region obtained from the corresponding MSEQ scans of these subjects. BA = Brodmann area; VOI = volume-of-interest.
