BA=Brodman area; X; Y; Z=pixel coordinates of peak difference; size=area size (number of voxels, voxel size=2×2×4 mm); decrease=% reduction in patients for the respective peak coordinates; z score=score of peak difference (transformedt value). (SPM95, patients v controls: significance level p=0.01).
