In the article “Brain Systems Mediating Cognitive Interference by Emotional Distraction,” by Florin Dolcos and Gregory McCarthy, which appeared on pages 2072–2079 of the February 15, 2006 issue, Table 1 is missing a line specifying the contrast involved in the ventral affective regions. The correct version of this Table is printed here.

t values of paired contrasts between the conditions of interest as a result of whole-brain voxel-based analyses (p < 0.001; t > 3.79) are shown for typical dorsal executive and ventral affective brain regions. The x, y, z coordinates denote the location of the peak voxel in Talairach space (Talairach and Tournoux, 1988). The effects identified during the delay interval typically peaked between 12 and 16 s after the onset of the memoranda (TRs, 6–8 after onset). Emo, Emotional; Neu, neutral; Scram, scrambled; R, right; L, left; M, middle; pCG, posterior cingulated gyrus; BG, basal ganglia; cn, caudate nucleus; sgCG, subgenual cingulate gyrus; HC, hippocampus; Hthal, hypothalamus.
a Significant at p < 0.005 (t > 2.97).
