Left Inferior Frontal Activations Depending on the Canonicity Determined by the Argument Structures of Ditransitive Sentences: An MEG Study
Figure 2
Significant activation with canonicity effects on ditransitive verbs.
(A) Cortical activation showing a significant main effect of canonicity at 530–550 ms. A significant C > N effect (corrected p<0.05) was observed at a single cluster in the left (L.) IFG (shown in yellow to black), which was superimposed on a sagittal section of the standard brain at the peak [Talairach coordinates, (x, y, z) = (–48, 10, 18)]. (B) The current density in the left IFG cluster for each of the four conditions (mean ± SEM). An asterisk denotes the significant difference (p<0.05, paired t-test) between the two conditions, under which the same NP preceded a verb (see Table 2).
