Regions of activation in ‘all lexical conditions vs. fixation’ at the group level at p<0.05 corrected for family wise error (FWE). In bold-regions used as VOIs for the effective connectivity analysis^*.

^*VOIs for the superior temporal gyri (STG) were selected from the local maxima to avoid overlap with the VOI of the primary auditory cortex (A1). Coordinates of left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) are not presented because this area was continuous with the left STG. The coordinates for the left IFG VOI [−48 12 24] were identified using an anatomical mask of left IFG.
