  • Peaks of activity were thresholded at p < 0.05 corrected for multiple comparisons for the search volume, using the random-field theory, minimum 3 voxels per cluster.

  • aBA, Putative Brodmann area.

  • bR, right ipsilateral side; L, left contralateral side.

  • cCoordinates are reported in MNI space.
