Peak coordinate of atrophic brain clusters showing a significant effect. Three-dimensional brain sections showing a significant atrophic effect of SPS in the part of the sensory cortex (cluster A), and the thalamus (clusters B and C), respectively (SPS, n = 18; sham, n = 17; height level p < 0.001, cluster-FWE corrected p < 0.05). Coronal sections with the peak coordinate piled upon the rat brain atlas68 are also presented. Cross hair lines indicate the peak coordinate. Colour bar units refer to t-scores. According to the rat brain atlas, the peak coordinate of cluster A exists in the right primary visual area. The peak coordinate of cluster B is located in the right ventral posteromedial nucleus in the thalamus. The peak coordinate of cluster C exists in the left ventral lateral nucleus of the thalamus.
