Coordinates (in millimeters) of peak differences in MNI space (Montreal Neurological Institute; http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca) are given for information. Anatomical localization of SPM detected peak differences was assessed on the average spatially normalized MRI image from six patients with PD. Individual PET images were spatially normalized on a customized MRI-derived template that was specific for the data under investigation and thus that did not perfectly match the canonical template image in MNI space (see Materials and methods).
