Table 2.
Functional ROIs tested for differences between fathers and nonfathers<comma> and for correlations with OT and T. For each ROI<comma> we list the voxel of peak activation<comma> the number of functional voxels contained within the ROI<comma> and note whether there is a significant difference between fathers and non-fathers<comma> and a significant partial correlation with OT or T (controlling for age).
