This coronal T1 weighted MRI image of the brain with color overlay shows the area of brain activation during a language task. In this task the patient listens to pairs of words and is instructed to tap his finger if the two words do not match. For example when presented with the words banana and round red fruit the patient taps their finger (representing a non match). This task is repeated several times while special MRI scans are performed which can detect tiny amounts of increased blood flow to the active regions of the brain. The areas of expected brain activation in this case would be Wernicke's Areas (site for language comprehension) in the superior temporal gyrus (large orange region on right). View 3 of 3.
