Vleft and Vright below refers to number of activated voxels within Broca’s regions of both hemispheres, Vtotal refers to total number of activated voxels within whole brain.

aPercentage of activated voxels within predefined language areas, Plang= (Vleft +Vright)/Vtotal;

bLateralization index, LI = (Vleft -Vright)*100/(Vleft +Vright);

cNormalized lateralizaton index, nLI = (LI/Plang)*100;

dLanguage lateralizations were calculated according to LI scores;

eSubjects with atypical hemispheric dominancy for language (right or bilateral dominancy) according to LI scores;

fPatients who have increased risk for possible postoperative language deficits.
