Dorsal stream specificity. A, Individual stimulation sites over left pIFG and dPMC (blue) and aSTG (yellow) are overlaid on an MNI standard brain. aSTG is a control site belonging to the ventral speech-processing stream. Not all stimulation sites are visible due to overlap. B, C, Combined virtual lesions induced by cTBS of the dPMC and the pIFG interfered with phonological but not semantic processing, whereas aSTS/STG lesions increased semantic but not phonological errors during word recognition. D, E, Increased error rates during syllable and pseudoword repetition are induced by the dPMC/pIFG double knock-out but not by virtual lesion of aSTG. The comparison with the control region MOG refers to data of the previous experiment depicted in Figures 3, 4, and 5. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.001. Error bars indicate SEM.
