My experience with activation maps is not that big, but I am familiar with some
of the preprocessing items. And one thing the normalisation does, is to equalise
the global mean of the normalised image to that of the template. So it might be
possibble that:
- the values the activated areas decrease a little (change in intensity)
- as a result, less of the activated areas is higher than the threshold, so less
is coloured.

Well, for example: install the spm96 software in a different directory, remove
the spm99 directory from your path temporarily (rmpath is a matlab function),
add the spm96 directory to your path (addpath). View your results and put back
the paths.I think the displaying functions of spm96 will also work with spm99
data.

I hope this is it.
