Hierarchy in speech processing. Regions with significant activity increase in response to syntactic complexity (yellow) are overlaid on the regions with significant activity increase in response to intelligibility (orange). Regions that overlap (white) are recruited by both types of sentences (easy and complex), but are recruited to greater degree by syntactically complex sentences, implying a role in syntax processing. Yellow regions are recruited only to support increased syntactic processing load.
