The table above reports brain activation that was significantly and negatively associated with MPOD during the JLO task minus the active baseline contrast (p < 0.01). MPOD = macular pigment optical density. R = right hemisphere. L = left hemisphere. x, y, and z coordinates are in MNI space (mm). * = cluster overlap with preceding row.
