Abreviations: BA = Brodmann's area; R = right side; L = left side; sup. = superior; Ant. = anterior; Dor. = dorsal; PCC = posterior cingulate cortex; PCu. = precuneus; MPFC = medial prefrontal cortex; mTLE = mesial temporal lobe epilepsy; NC = normal controls; MNI = Montreal Neurological Institute coordinate.

The last two columns show the t-value of the corresponding peak voxel within patient and control group, respectively. Values with an asterisk show the mean causal effect of the corresponding cluster is significantly different from zero.
