Relation between preoperative language deficits and patient and tumor parameters in 49 patients^*

Parameter	Statistic	p Value
sex	χ²(1,N=49) = 0.002	0.96
age	F(1,47) = 4.44	0.04^†

tumor vol	F(1,47) = 2.30	0.13
Broca LAD (from edge of activation)	F(1,47) = 0.13	0.72
Broca LAD (from center of activation)	F(1,47) = 0.23	0.63
Wernicke LAD (from edge of activation)	F(1,47) = 5.04	0.03^†
