Figure 1 Rendered image of the right lateral, left lateral, and inferior view of the mean activation pattern during maximal distention relative to baseline (C2-C1). Analysis was run at the P uncorrected value of less than .001. The clusters were projected on the cortical surface of a high-resolution–rendered MRI image. f, frontal; o, occipital; l, left; r, right.

Figure 2 Individual PET signal percentage difference between maximal distention and baseline in the 13 FD patients. For this analysis, a representative and significantly activated brain area was selected: the left gyrus postcentralis.
