To define the regions of interest (ROI), NeuroGam software (Segami-Corporation, http://www.segamicorp.com/) was applied to the reoriented and reconstructed three-dimensional brain volume data (see the text for details). Therefore, data were processed analyzing ten ROI, corresponding to the entire cortex of the hemisphere, to the parietal, temporal, frontal, and occipital regions, all analyzed with respect to the contralateral region. Data are expressed as maximum, minimum, and mean standard deviation of count rate registered.
