Activation maps for narrative paradigms in man with bihemispheric cardioembolic infarcts in middle cerebral artery territories

Activation maps for the narrative paradigms in a 29-year-old right-handed man with bihemispheric cardioembolic infarcts in the middle cerebral artery territories. (A-B) Activation maps contrasting language conditions relative to matched perceptual conditions for the written narrative and slow written narrative paradigms. (C-D) Activation maps contrasting language conditions relative to matched perceptual conditions for the spoken narrative and slow spoken paradigms. The activation map from the repeated spoken narrative paradigm obtained during the second scanning session is not depicted because it is identical to the one obtained during the first scanning session. The smoothed lesion mask is depicted in blue. The color bar reflects the percentile range a t statistic fell within for a given voxel (lower % indicates greater statistical significance). Left is left. (Source: Casilio M, Kasdan AV, Schneck SM, et al. Situating word deafness within aphasia recovery: a case report. Cortex 2024;173:96-119.
