  1. Region of interest (ROI) activation is defined as the (sum of T-scores within the ROI among voxels with T-scores > 1.66 that are part of clusters of at least 10 voxels)/total voxels in the ROI. cSLE, childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus; NCD, neurocognitive dysfunction; CPT-IP: continuous performance task- identical pairs; VCA, visuoconstructive ability; L, left; R, right; inf, inferior; mid, middle.
