Regions showing group differences in intrinsic connectivity within the sensorimotor resting state network. Whole brain voxel-wise images are thresholded at p<.05 corrected for family wise error. Contrasts are color-coded. Voxels showing overlap by contrast have dark hues. Each sagittal slice is depicted by vertical blue line on the brain on the right and the X slice is identified in white as depicted in Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space.
