Receptive and expressive language activations for sentences: a PET study
Abstract
Most language mapping studies have focussed on activations for single-word tasks. We examined activations for verbal auditory and generation tasks using sentence stimuli. [15O]-water PET was performed in 4 female and 5 male normal adults. Listening to sentences (minus rest) activated the superior and middle temporal gyri bilaterally, but mean activation was significantly stronger on the left. The strongest activation for sentence generation (minus repetition) was seen in the left middle and inferior frontal gyri (area 46). This focus appears to be anterior to activations reported for single-word generation, possibly due to greater verbal working memory demands of the sentential task. Additional activation of the left inferior temporal lobe can be attributed to lexicosemantic processing.

The ventral aspect of BA46 lies in IFG, participates in language processes, and has been implicated in the genesis of AVHs.
“Although BA46 is typically viewed as a middle frontal region, its ventral aspect lies in IFG and participates in language processes (51–53) and has been implicated in the genesis of AVHs (26,54).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
