  1. aLabelings of the anatomical regions of gray matter were mostly based on the WFU PickAtlas Tool (http://www.fmri.wfubmc.edu/cms/software#PickAtlas/) and on the PickAtlas automated anatomical labeling atlas option.
  2. bThe anatomical labels and significant clusters of major white matter fibers were determined using the ICBM DTI-81 Atlas (http://www.loni.ucla.edu/).
  3. cOnly the clusters that surpassed the extent threshold with the voxel-level cluster determining the threshold (P < 0.05, corrected for the false discovery rate) were noted.
