Language and Visual Perception Associations: Meta-Analytic Connectivity Modeling of Brodmann Area 37

Figure 1

Language-related BA37’s network. ALE results overlaid on an axial-T1 MRI MNI-template. Left hemisphere appears in the left side of the insets (neurological convention). ALE scores are color coded from red (lower scores) to white (higher scores). In addition to the left BA37 (middle and inferior temporal gyri in the convexity and fusiform gyrus in the basal aspect) that has the highest intensity, the following regions appear “activated”: left inferior frontal gyrus; bilateral superior and inferior parietal lobule (intraparietal sulcus); left SMA and posterior lobe of the cerebellum. There is also small activation of the right fusiform gyrus and right temporooccipital areas.
