All regions chosen prior to analyses and derived from previously published reports (references [15-18]). 1Regions hypothesized to deactivate under the task; otherwise, the region is hypothesized to activate. Unless otherwise indicated, right and left hemisphere portions of each region are considered separately in analyses. CPT-IP, continuous performance task-identical pairs; VCA: visuoconstructive ability; SMA, supplementary motor area.
