Table 1.
Areas of differential activation for passive and active sentences. Peak Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinates, cluster sizes (k), maximal t-values, and cluster-corrected (family-wise error rate) p-values are reported (voxel-wise threshold of p < 0.001, uncorrected, k ≥ 85). Notes: LH, left hemisphere; RH, right hemisphere; IFG, inferior frontal gyrus; pMTG, posterior middle temporal gyrus; SMA, supplementary motor area; SPL, superior parietal lobule.
