L/R = left or right; x, y, z: coordinates (mm) in the stereotactic space defined by the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI). This analysis was conducted with a p value <.05 FWE corrected.
P<.05 FWE corrected with SVC using a 10-mm sphere radius centered on the DLPFC’s MNI coordinates [−48 15 20] [22].
