Group average brain activity during verb generation > rest in A. typically developing children and B. children with DLD. Clusters with Z > 6 and a minimum extent of 50 voxels are reported in italics with up to 6 maxima per cluster. Peak locations are presented for X (sagittal), Y (coronal) and Z (axial) coordinates in mm relative to the orthogonal planes through the anterior commissure, together with peak z-statistic, and cluster extent in voxels. L, left; R, right.
