  1. aThe labels of the anatomical regions of gray matter were based on the WFU PickAtlas Tool (http://www.fmri.wfubmc.edu/cms/software#PickAtlas/)96,97 and the PickAtlas automated anatomical labeling Atlas option98. Temporal pole areas included all subregions in the areas of this Atlas.
  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/).
