  1. Each row accounts for a given spatial measurement of the point distribution per grid cell or per ROI. Grid-Cells (%) refers to the percentage of cells with less than a certain number of maxima (2, 4, 6 or 8). Variables marked with † passed the correlation test and were tested in the ANOVA analysis (Table 2).
