fMRI activation patterns during music listening – a comparison between the non-amusic and amusic patients. Activation patterns of non-amusic vs. amusic patients during music listening tasks showed by t-tests. (A) Non-amusic vs. amusic patients (Acute, Instrumental); (B) Non-amusic vs. amusic patients (3-month stage, Instrumental); (C) Amusic vs. Non-music patients (3-month stage, Vocal); (D) Amusic vs. Non-music patients (3-month stage, Vocal vs. Instrumental). N = 41. Results are shown at p < 0.005 (uncorrected) with ≥50 voxels of spatial extent and overlaid over a canonical template with MNI coordinates at the bottom right of each slice. Only clusters surviving a FWE-corrected p < 0.05 threshold are labeled (see also Table 3). The scatter plots display the correlation between the mean cluster activation and the MBEA total score across the whole sample. CIN = cingulate gyrus, CUN = cuneus, HG = Heschl’s gyrus, IFG = inferior frontal gyrus, INS = insula, IPL = inferior parietal lobule, MFG = middle frontal gyrus, MTG = middle temporal gyrus, PCG = postcentral gyrus, PreCG = precentral gyrus, SMA = supplementary motor area, STG = superior temporal gyrus.
