Figure 3. Foci of activation of the direct comparison between nonfocal and focal PM tasks (z = {237, 223, 199, 171, 140, 97, 76}).

The foci of activation referring to the contrast nonfocal tasks >focal tasks are reported in pink and revealed that nonfocal tasks are associated with increased activity in lateral aPFC regions (BA 10). The foci of activation referring to the contrast focal tasks >nonfocal tasks are reported in light blue and showed that focal tasks are associated with increased activity in the anterior cerebellum, in the ventral parietal regions (BA 40) and in the BA 9.
