Cortical activations underlying the word-level processes during spoken-language comprehension were obtained by contrasting the target task (Lanm: animacy judgment for normal speech) and the baseline task (Lgdr: gender judgment for time-reversed speech). The results were thresholded at voxel-level p < 0.001 with cluster-level FWE corrected p < 0.05. PCN, precuneus; PMd, dorsal premotor cortex; IPSp, posterior intraparietal sulcus; OCC, occipital lobe; OTSm, middle occipitotemporal sulcus; IFGa, anterior inferior frontal gyrus; IFJ, inferior frontal junction; MFGa, anterior middle frontal gyrus; L, left hemispheric; R, right hemispheric; BA, Brodmann's area.
