Running elicits prefrontal activation in response to the Stroop interference difference ([incongruent—neutral of post-session]—[incongruent—neutral of pre-session]). (a) F-map of oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) signal change, F-values are indicated as in the color bar. Among the 6 regions of interest (ROIs), significant differences are found in (b) the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, (c) the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, (d) the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, (e) the right frontopolar area and (f) the left frontopolar area. Data are mean ± SE, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
