Broader functionality of language areas at the left middle frontal gyrus in patients with Broca’s area tumors by Riho Nakajima, Akitoshi Ogawa, Masashi Kinoshita, Takahiro Osada, Hirokazu Okita, Seiki Konishi, Mitsutoshi Nakada

“…RsfMRI-based network analyses revealed that two areas in the MFG, one in the anterior part and the other in the posterior part, showed higher centrality than surrounding frontal areas in both groups, especially the posterior one. These results suggest that language areas can be observed in the perilesional MFG regions following tumor progression, and raise the possibility that network hubs contribute to maintaining cognitive functions after brain lesions.…”
