  • MC, Presence of significant activation in the matched control group; PD, presence of significant activation in the PD group; PD>MC, activation in both groups but greater in the PD group than in the control group; MC>PD, activation in both groups but greater in the matched control group than in the PD group. If MC or PD is not present in a given row, then no significant activation was observed in the area for the corresponding group. For other abbreviations, see Table 1.
