The table presents regional grey matter correlates of mean overall emotion identification score and facial EMG reactivity (as defined in Fig. 1) during viewing of facial expressions in the four patient groups, based on voxel-based morphometry. Coordinates of local maxima are in standard MNI space. P values are all significant after family-wise error (FWE) correction for multiple voxel-wise comparisons within pre-specified anatomical regions of interest (see text). bvFTD, patient group with behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (excluding right temporal cases); IFG, inferior frontal gyrus; nfvPPA, patient group with nonfluent variant primary progressive aphasia; rtvFTD, patient subgroup with right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia; STG/S, superior temporal gyrus/sulcus; svPPA, patient group with semantic variant primary progressive aphasia.
