Figure 2. The effect of the syllable hierarchy on Broca's area.

Figure 2

The syllable structure manipulation activated posterior Broca's area, but deactivated its anterior region (A). An inspection of the BOLD signal (B) showed that these changes were monotonically linked to the well-formedness of the monosyllables, but not their disyllabic counterparts. Responses to monosyllables are plotted in blue; disyllables are indicated in red.
