Abbreviations: BA Brodmann's area; BA6, middle frontal gyrus (frontal lobe); BA3, postcentral gyrus (parietal lobe, primary somatosensory cortex); BA24, anterior cingulate (limbic lobe); r, correlation coefficient (* p<.05, ** p<.01, after Bonferroni's correction). Locations are according to the Talairach coordinate system (x, mediolateral; y, rostrocaudal; z, dorsal-ventral).
