Table 6.

Brain areas with significantly (p < 0.0017) greater deactivations with sham compared to non-invasive cervical vagal nerve stimulation nVNS during the first (TSB1), second (TSB2), and third (TSB3) exposures to personalized trauma 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. ND = no difference.
