These spatial estimates are also consistent with a large body of research based on the BOLD–fMRI method showing that the main foci of language-related activity are the left-lateralized temporal and prefrontal areas comparable to the ones observed in this study (for reviews see Fiez and Petersen, 1998; Badre and Wagner, 2002; Bookheimer, 2002; Binder et al., 2009; Liakakis et al., 2011).
