Voxel-wise Z-score significance level p<0.05 uncorrected for multiple comparisons within a hypothesized ROI; ROIs listed represent regions of significantly activated clusters within the a priori hypothesized ROI

3

FWE rate (family-wise error rate) used for SVC (small volume correction): Voxel-level significance level (FWE-corrected within the search volume of interest)

ES (Effect sizes) = standard deviations calculated as: differences between food versus non-food percent signal changes in PWS vs. OB; differences are divided by standard deviation of percent signal change value of the whole sample
