Brain areas activated more by younger adults than older adults during the ignore words/nonwords conditions

Region Hem X(mm) Y(mm) Z(mm) BSR
right rostral PFC R 24 48 24 6.54
medial frontal gyrus L −4 52 24 6.92
medial frontal gyrus L −8 24 52 5.33
left rostral PFC L −28 44 16 6.25
middle temporal gyrus R 60 −48 4 6.99
superior temporal gyrus / IPL L −56 −52 20 6.69

Note: MNI coordinates of cluster maxima showing the pattern of activity depicted in Figure 5b (i.e., areas where younger adults showed greater increases in activity than older adults in the ignore words/nonwords conditions); clusters shown in Figure 5a. Hem = hemisphere; R = right; L = left; BSR = bootstrap ratio; IPL = inferior parietal lobe; PFC = prefrontal cortex.
