Relation of auditory naming and picture naming fMRI activations to disease duration in left TLE patients. Activations are shown superimposed on coronal and sagittal images at p < 0.001, uncorrected and the crosshair indicates the location on orthogonal slices. For auditory naming (upper row), shorter disease duration (left column) was associated with stronger activations in the left temporal pole (crosshair), left middle temporal gyrus, and left inferior frontal gyrus, whereas longer disease duration (right column) was related to weaker deactivation of the left inferior parietal lobule (crosshair). For picture naming (lower row), shorter disease duration (left column) was associated with stronger activations in the left fusiform gyrus (crosshair), and bilateral superior and middle occipital cortex (not shown on slice), whereas longer disease duration (right column) related to weaker deactivation of the left precuneus (crosshair) and right inferior parietal lobule (not shown on slice). Scatterplots show correlations of fMRI parameter estimate with disease duration. A anterior, L left, P posterior, R right. TLE temporal lobe epilepsy
