For analysis group differences (PD≠CTL), cluster extent threshold at pFWE corrected = 0.05, peak at T(1,20)min=2.53; k = number of synchronously activated brain voxels.

a

trend for peak pFWE corrected >0.05 <0.1;

b

cluster extent pFDR corrected < 0.05;

c

trend for cluster extent pFDR corrected >0.05 <0.1;

1

peak p=0.001; T(1,20) min = 3.55, k=20.
