TABLE 2.
Sub-clusters that were found to be associated with significant (p < 0.05) changes in brain activity between both interventions before multiplicity correction, during the EAT paradigm.
MNI coordinates of peak (x y z) | Cluster size [mm3] | ME − MS in probiotic − placebo p-value* | ME − MS in probiotic − placebo effect size | Anatomical region |
6 66 6 | 2,673 | 0.007 | 7.110 | Medial area 10 |
48 45 −15 | 378 | 0.038 | 3.451 | Orbital gyrus, orbital area 12/47 |
42 27 −9 | 1,188 | 0.041 | 1.722 | Lateral area 12/47 |
*After correction for multiple testing using Bonferroni, the changes in activation in all sub-clusters (p > 0.05/55) and the predefined ROIs (p > 0.05/10) did not remain statistically significant, nor after FDR correction. EAT, emotional attention task; FDR, false discovery rate; ME, match emotions; MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute; MS, match shapes; ROI, region of interest. Two of these sub-clusters covered predefined ROIs (italic).
