Regions are reported from posterior to anterior. Hem: hemisphere of peak; Label: anatomical labelling corresponding to the cluster peak and subpeak (according to Harvard-Oxford cortical and subcortical structural atlases); cluster peak: cluster peaks are reported in Talairach space; z-val: maximum value; vx: cluster extent in voxel. All coordinates are reported in Talairach space. Strategic game task is not included in the table due to no overlapping region.
