All listed clusters significant at p<0 .005 (uncorrected) with a cluster extent threshold of greater than 20 contiguous voxels. Areas showing a priori hypothesized treatment-related changes are bolded and italicized, significant at p<0 .05 (SVC-corrected for multiple comparisons).
Medial Orbital Gyrus is referred to as ventral medial prefrontal cortex in the text. MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute; Z, Z-score.
