MNI coordinates are expressed in mm relative to the anterior commissure. Statistical maps were threshold for significance at p < 0.05 corrected using the FWE (family-wise error) method with a cluster extent of 100 voxels. Results displayed with p values < 0.05 uncorrected are indicated with *. BA, Brodmann area; MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute space; kE, cluster size in number of voxels
