  1. aFor the analysis of white matter volumes, the brain regions where voxel clusters were located were identified according to the MRI Atlas of Human White Matter (Oishi et al., 2010). For the analysis of glucose metabolism, brain regions were identified according to the Automatic Anatomical Labeling Toolbox for SPM12 (Rolls et al., 2015).
  2. bNumber of contiguous voxels in each cluster that surpassed the initial cutoff of p <= 0.0005.
  3. cMNI coordinates of the voxel of maximal statistical significance within each cluster.
  4. dZ-score for the voxel of maximal statistical significance in each region.
