Voxel‐wise P = 0.01; cluster‐wise P = 0.005).
Three‐dimensional clusters have been deconstructed into 2‐D in order to increase the anatomical specificity. Therefore, foci represent the most strongly activated voxel within each cluster on each slice. Only clusters of more than six voxels are reported.
