Regions having increased GMV in SLE patients were reported at the height threshold of p < 0.001 uncorrected with the minimum cluster size of 980 voxels. Coordinates (x, y and z) are given in mm according to MNI space. The t-stats and p-values of the peak coordinates within each clusters are provided in the table.
Abbreviations: L = left, R = right, SFG = superior frontal gyrus, SFG (orb) = superior frontal gyrus (orbital part), MFG = middle frontal gyrus, SMA = supplementary motor area, PreCG = precentral gyrus, PostCG = postcentral gyrus.
