Table 1. Significant positive clusters of noxious-evoked brain activity, observed across the whole group (n = 13, cluster forming threshold: z = 3.1, cluster significance threshold, p = 0.05).
This table provides an anatomical description and the location of the peak z-statistic within each active brain region. The group activity reported consisted of 14 distinct clusters, some of which spanned multiple brain regions.
