Since we did not differentiate between whether the coordinates included in the {term}`meta-analysis` represented an increase or decrease in activation, Dr. Lytical cannot make any inferences about whether the nAChR agonists increased or decreased activation in these regions, merely that {term}`studies ` tended to report significant coordinates within these regions.
