Figure 3

Activation by evoked tics. Activation maps based on GLM-based analysis using the evoked EV (n = 10 tics). A number of cortical regions including anterior cingulate (ACC), insula (Ins), middle and inferior frontal (MFG, IFG), medial temporal gyrus (MTG) and inferior parietal lobe (IPL) regions show significant activation (P < 0.0001). Subcortical regions showing significant activation include the thalamus (Thal) and pontine nuclei (PN). Notably, no significant activation was observed in the cerebellum (see text). Numbers indicated the anterior posterior, sagittal or horizontal plane of the brain slice. R = Right and L = Left.
