Anatomical and Functional MRI Changes after One Year of Auditory Rehabilitation with Hearing Aids

Table 1

Brain regions with increased fMRI activity in controls (CG) when compared to patients before HA use (PB). The center of the cluster for each brain region is represented in Talairach coordinates (, , and ), followed by its respective standard deviations (in parentheses). Clusters were selected using a  < 0.05 and a cluster size of at least 50 mm³.
