Bold typeface letters denote obtained clusters and associated statistics at the cluster-level, while nested standard typeface letters are related to statistical values of the local maxima (at the voxel-level) identified within the respective cluster. DBS — deep-brain stimulation; EC — eigenvector centrality; k — number of significant voxels within the cluster; MNI — Montreal Neurological Institute; pFDR‡ — alpha value corrected for multiple tests at cluster-level using false discovery rate correction; punc — uncorrected alpha value; STN — subthalamic nucleus; t — peak t-statistic; [x, y, z] — coordinates of corresponding voxel in MNI-template anatomical space in millimeters;

The right brainstem cluster did not survive the FDR cluster-level correction.
