Cortical activations underlying the word-level processes during written-language comprehension were obtained by contrasting the target task (Ranm: animacy judgment for words) and the baseline task (Rchr: character number judgment for normal words). 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; IPSa, anterior intraparietal sulcus; OCC, occipital lobe; OTSm, middle occipitotemporal sulcus; SPT, sylvian parietal temporal; IFGa, anterior inferior frontal gyrus; preSMA, presupplementary motor area; IFJ, inferior frontal junction; MFGa, anterior middle frontal gyrus; L, left hemispheric; R, right hemispheric.
