MRI scan not available for one Control participant. Age included as a covariate in all contrasts. All clusters reported using the threshold free cluster enhancement method (tfce) and corrected for Family Wise Error (FWE) at p < 0.05. For brevity, only clusters above 100 contiguous voxels are reported. All clusters reported t > 1.70.
