Regions of activation based on the Instrument of Expertise vs. Nonexpertise contrast (random effect analysis)
| Area | x | Y | z | t Value | Size (mm3) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R MFG | 30 | −1 | 34 | 6.3057 | 2825 |
| L MeFG | 0 | 8 | 49 | 7.057 | 1424 |
| L Globus Pallidus | −15 | 2 | −2 | 5.462 | 1124 |
| L Precentral | −33 | −10 | 37 | 5.7088 | 948 |
| L IPL | −36 | −37 | 25 | 5.776 | 718 |
| L Precentral, IFG (BA6/BA 44) | −51 | −4 | 19 | 6.667 | 1415 |
| L STG | −50 | −37 | 11 | 5.869 | 182a |
The coordinates represent the location of the peak voxel for a cluster in Talaraich space.
All the clusters except for L STG exceeded a single‐voxel P value of < 0.001 and a spatial extent of 300 voxels (corresponding to P < 0.05 after correction for multiple comparisons across the whole brain).
BA, approximate Brodmann's area; L, left; R, right; IFG, inferior frontal gyrus; MFG, middle frontal gyrus; MeFG, medial frontal gyrus; IPL, inferior parietal lobule; precentral, precentral gyrus; STG, superior temporal gyrus.
The L STG cluster reported here is below the threshold for spatial extent.
