Talairach x,y,z coordinates and statistics refer to the voxel with the maximum signal change in each region. Abbreviations: region of interest (ROI), right (R), left (L), superior temporal sulcus (STS), medial temporal gyrus (MTG), frontal gyrus (FG).
Not significant (p > 0.05).
Significant in whole-brain analysis (Table 1).
