Cerebral activation locations refer to maximal hemodynamic response sites. PD: Parkinson’s disease; L/R: left/right; BA: Brodmann’s area; x, y, z: mediolateral, rostrocaudal and dorsoventral Talairach coordinates; Z scores > 4.88 correspond to corrected pFWE-corr values < 0.05; Inf: infinite; k: cluster size (number of voxels); M1: primary motor cortex; SMA: supplementary motor area.

*

these clusters also included the primary somatosensory cortex (BA 3/2/1);

**

these clusters also implicated the primary motor cortex (BA 4).
