Functional MR coincidence maps. Highlighted areas indicate increased activation associated with emotional auditory stimuli and decreased gray matter volume. Yellow areas represent greater values for functional and morphometric statistical source images. Selected clusters can appear in white matter by means of partial volume effects after spatial smoothing.
