Location of brain regions demonstrating significant activations for single handgrip compared with rest are given as MNI coordinates (x, y, z) in Talairach space. All voxels are significant at a threshold of P < 0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons across whole brain. MNI = Montreal Neurological Institute; SMA = supplementary motor area; PMd = dorsal lateral premotor cortex; PMv = ventral lateral premotor cortex; BA = Brodmann area; CL = contralateral; IL = ipsilateral; M = midline.
