Peaks of activation for regions where activity increased as a function of exposure to the speech streams in 6-year-olds

			Increases in artificial languages (U↑ + S↑)					Increases in random syllables (R↑)					Increases in artificial languages > random syllables (U↑ + S↑ > R↑)
Anatomical regions	BA		x	y	z	t	k	x	y	z	t	k	x	y	z	t	k
Superior temporal gyrus	22	L	−58	−8	4	4.10	297						−60	−20	0	4.21	503

Transverse temporal gyrus	41	R	38	−30	14	4.85	685						40	−30	14	5.59	2065
Inferior parietal lobule	40	R						60	−32	24	4.00	268
Paracentral lobule	5	L	−24	−16	44	3.91	466
Precentral gyrus	6	R	38	−8	14	4.46	685

Note: Activity thresholded at t > 3.82 (p < .001), corrected for multiple comparisons at the cluster level (p < .05). * denotes a t score with p < .002. BA refers to putative Brodmann Area; L and R refer to left and right hemispheres; x, y, and z refer to the Talairach coordinates corresponding to the left-right, anterior-posterior, and inferior-superior axes, respectively; t refers to the highest t score within a region; k refers to cluster size (note that different regions with the same cluster size are part of the same cluster).
