Three-way ANCOVA for rCBF hemodynamics

	Region effect		Condition effect		Gender effect		Interaction: region × condition
	F value	p value	F value	p value	F value	p value	F value	p value
rCBF	5.17	0.003	3.31	0.047	0.51	n.s.	2.28	0.041

We used the ANCOVA in order to remove the effect of a covariate (age). Two factors for within subject: region effect, MFG/vACC versus preC/PCC versus DLPFC versus parietal cortex; condition effect, control versus WM-task versus RWM-task. One factor for between subjects: gender effect, male versus female. Covariance: age. n.s., No significance.
