Activity patterns are activations, except when denoted with (−), indicating deactivation. Coordinates (x, y, z) reflect Talairach template space (57). BA, Brodmann area; L, left; R, right; CON, all control participants; SCZ, all schizophrenia patients; NSA, all participants without past substance abuse; SA, all participants with past substance abuse.
