Brain areas with significantly(p < 0.005) greater deactivation in participants receiving sham compared to non-invasive cervical vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) while listening to personalized traumatic scripts as measured with positron emission tomography. Significant clusters are presented by size (number of voxels) and location (Brodmann area, cluster peak Talairach coordinates). Sub-cluster peaks are also identified.
