Brain activation differences for SST “saliency” contrast analysis (i.e., stop > go trials) between groups, including paired t-test comparison of participants with PD in their “ON” versus “OFF” medication state (Medication effects) and 2-sample t-test comparison of participants with Parkinson’s disease in their “OFF” medication state versus controls (disease effects)

Task contrast results have a cluster-forming threshold of p < 0.005, with a nonparametric p < 0.05 FWE cluster correction, using SnPM13.
Key: CTL, control; FWE, family-wise error; IFG, inferior frontal junction; MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute; R, right.
