All x, y, and z values given here represent stereotaxic coordinates according to the coordinate system by Talairach and Tournoux (1988). The statistical values in the next columns correspond to the t-statistics and the p-values of the activation maxima (peak voxel) within each anatomical region. All activations were thresholded at q(FDR) <0.05 (t = 3.71). (BA = Brodmann area; R = right hemisphere; L = left hemisphere).
