fMRI activation rendered in a 3D brain volume. The left hemisphere is depicted. Activation is seen on the foot of the motor primary area, Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas during a task involving expressive and receptive language functions (discriminating correctness of sentences describing objects) in a right handed adolescent boy.
