 Hand, foot, and tongue sensorimotor activation maps to its expected locations along on the pre- and post-central gyri. The most reliable language-related cortical activation was achieved with the verb generation and sentence completion paradigms. Language is strongly left dominant. Foci of activity compatible with Broca's area map as expected to the left pars triangularis and to a lesser degree pars opercularis. Two foci of activity, either or both of which would be compatible with Wernicke's area, map along the posterior aspect of the left superior temporal sulcus. The patient's hemosiderin stained lesion within the left temporal lobe is located inferior to, and well removed from, the visualized areas of primary or secondary language activation.
Language is strongly left dominant. Activation corresponding to Broca's and Wernicke's areas maps as expected to the inferior left frontal and superior left temporal gyri respectively. The hemosiderin stained lesion in the left temporal lobe is inferior to and well removed from the visualized areas of primary and secondary language activity.
