Notes. The input maps for the contrast analyses are described above for the single-study ALE meta-analyses and used a cluster-level threshold of p < 0.05 and a cluster-forming threshold of p < 0.01. In order to correct for multiple comparisons in the statistical difference map, we additionally used a conservative, whole-brain FDR correction of p < 0.01 (pID) and cluster extent of 128 mm3. Peaks are listed first for each cluster with subpeaks listed in subsequent rows.
