FIGURE 3.

Schematic cumulative representation of the number of studies that described the role of the arcuate fasciculus (AF) in mediating linguistic abilities. All the revised works have been classified depending on the general ability, linguistic domain, or specific language‐related skills that they tackle (see text for a more detailed description). Each solid‐colored square represents one account for the defined category; shaded squares have been added below each of these broad categories in the case of studies specifying a precise subcategory (being it a particular deficit related to AF damage or a defined ability correlating with its features).
