Results are FWE-corrected at p < 0.05 and the total intracranial volume, age, and sequence (where appropriate) were included as covariates of no interest. H, hemisphere; L, left; R, right; k, cluster size; TFCE, threshold-free cluster enhancement; x, y, z, MNI coordinates; UC, ulcerative colitis; HCUC, matched healthy control group for UC group; IBS, irritable bowel syndrome; HCIBS, matched healthy control group for IBS group.
