a t-value (comparing group means; 2-sided P-value presented).

bDifference between mean scores on the subjective stress scale under stress vs control conditions of the MIST psychosocial stress task.

cDifference between mean scores on the psychosis scale under stress vs control conditions of the MIST psychosocial stress task.

dPercentage of voxels exceeding the FDR corrected significance threshold of P(α(FDR) = 5%) < 0.05, reflecting spatial extent of task-induced ligand displacement. Percentages reflect the number of significant voxels relative to the total number of voxels within the mask of the respective brain region.
