All clusters survived correction for multiple comparisons over the whole brain. Coordinates (in standard MNI space) refer to maximally activated foci: x = distance (mm) to the right (+) or left (−) of the midsagittal line; y = distance anterior (+) or posterior (−) to the vertical plane through the anterior commissure; z = distance above (+) or below (−) the intercommissural line. L, Left hemisphere; R, right hemisphere; M, medial activations.

***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, permutation-based correction for multiple comparisons.
