Note: Activity thresholded at t > 3.21 (p < .001), corrected for multiple comparisons at the cluster level (p < .05). BA refers to putative Brodmann Area; L and R refer to left and right hemispheres; x, y, and z refer to the Talairach coordinates corresponding to the left-right, anterior-posterior, and inferior-superior axes, respectively; t refers to the highest t score within a region; k refers to cluster size (note that different regions with the same cluster size are part of the same cluster).
