Negative t scores are indicative of areas demonstrating significantly lesser activation for experts than for novices, while positive t scores reveal areas of greater activation in experts compared to novices. Brodmann's areas and laterality (hemisphere) are provided in addition to coordinates given in Talairach space. All results are based on FWE correction P < 0.05.
