Regions activated for syntactic processing. Significant clusters of activation for syntax (anomalous prose) over and above activation for single-word processing (random word order) in controls (A) and patients (B), voxel-level P < 0.005, cluster-level P < 0.06 corrected. (C) Scatter plot shows performance (word position effect) over activation for contrast estimate for anomalous prose–random word order (AP-RWO). Activation correlated with performance in anomalous prose (r = 0.543, P < 0.05) but not in normal prose (r = −0.095, P = 0.75) and the correlation was stronger for anomalous prose than normal prose (P < 0.05, Williams test, one-tailed). N.s. = not significant, *P < 0.05.
