a Main fMRI activations (red) and deactivations (blue) across all three groups (left TLE, right TLE, controls) for auditory naming (upper row), picture naming (middle row) and verbal fluency (lower row) tasks shown rendered at p < 0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons (FWE). b Main fMRI activation across all three groups superimposed on sagittal images. Crosshairs indicate left inferior temporal gyrus fMRI activations for auditory naming, left fusiform gyrus activations for picture naming, and left inferior frontal gyrus activations for verbal fluency. Auditory naming: Sagittal slices also show left frontal activations. Picture naming: Sagittal slices also show left occipital and left frontal activations All activations are shown at p < 0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons (FWE).
