Anatomical locations extracted from aparc freesurfer annotation.

Zmax indicates the −log10 (p value) for the cluster, a threshold of 5.613 was calculated to represent false discover rate (FDR) corrected values p<0.05 for both hemispheres.

No statistically changes were seen at baseline imaging between PD-VH and PD non-VH participants.
