Temporal organization of cortical activation during sentence comprehension for adults and children in sagittal section (x = −50) and horizontal section (z = 2). Data are masked by random-effects activation maps at z > 2.33 and display a color coding for time-to-peak values in active voxels between 3.0 and 8.0 seconds. The lines indicate the cut for the corresponding section. Note the very late response in the inferior frontal cortex in children and their hemispheric differences in this region. Inserted diagrams demonstrate examples of BOLD responses to sentence comprehension in adults and children in Broca’s area (BA) and in Heschl’s gyrus (HG). Talairach coordinates BA: adults −49 17 17, children −49 12 11, HG: adults −52 −10 8, children −46 −12 2. BOLD response information is obtained voxel-wisely from preprocessed raw data. Crosses and standard error bars indicate measured data points (TR 2 s with onset jitter of 0.5 s). Line graphs illustrate subsequent interpolation (resolution 0.2 s).
