Activated areas during the active condition of the Tower of London task. During the active condition (planning stage) of the task, activation (red) on the group average map (shown in Talairach format with coronal orientation) is shown. In the brain area from −3 anterior to +49 posterior, no activation was seen. A, Frontal regions. Coronal sections of coordinates −44 to −3 (anterior part of the brain). Activity was noted in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the anterior part of the cingulate cortex, a part of the precentral cortex, and the frontal opercular area of the insula during planning. The right side shows slightly more activation than the left side. B, Parietal/occipital regions. Coronal sections of coordinates +49 to +80 (posterior part of the brain). Activation was noted in the cuneus and precuneus region, the marginal and angular gyrus in the parietal lobe, and the cerebellum during the active condition
