Coordinates of activation foci together with Z scores and an estimate of where the activations lie in anatomical terms is presented for each contrast

Coordinates highlighted in bold are those falling within the region of interest defined by our previous study (Fletcher et al., 2001) and surviving a small volume correction for multiple comparisons on the basis of these previous data.
