TABLE III.

Selective description of activation observed in the Task condition. See Table II for description. Shared activity Z scores are the mean of the PASSIVE, PROBE, and THEME conditions. Activity within the left hemisphere lateral frontal lobe is included in the ROI analysis (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). Task specific activation reflects regions that are not merely extensions of shared regions
