Regions were created from 10 mm spheres generated around the peak activation from the voxel-wise and cluster thresholded maps from the whole-brain analysis. This analysis did not include covariates.
1Regions significantly different during the 1-back condition (p < 0.05).
2Regions significantly different during the 2-back condition (p < 0.05).
