a

Coordinates are presented in Montreal Neurologic Institute space.

b

Voxel-wise Z-score significance level p<0.05 uncorrected for multiple comparisons within a hypothesized region of interest; ROIs listed represent regions of significantly activated clusters within the a priori hypothesized ROI.

c

FWE rate (family-wise error rate) used for small volume correction: voxel-level significance level (FWE-corrected within the search volume of interest).

d

Effect sizes (d=Cohen’s d) based on average percent signal change values (beta weights averaged across an anatomical ROI) were obtained using the REX toolbox for Statistical Parametric Mapping-8.
