Anatomical and Functional MRI Changes after One Year of Auditory Rehabilitation with Hearing Aids
Table 2
Brain regions with increased fMRI activity in patients before HA use (PB) when compared to controls (CG). 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.
