  • * Expressed as the maximum within each area. Local maxima are separated by a minimum of 8 mm.

  • Cluster-level correction (p < 0.05) for multiple comparisons.

  • Determined by 2-sample t test, p < 0.001, uncorrected. Controls revealed no areas of increased brain activation compared with schizophrenia patients.
