The brain imaging of psychopathology 183s Results: Distorting subjects' speech (through pitch elevation) while they read aloud led to bilateral activation of the cortex around the superior temporal sulcus (p < 0.001), with a greater response on the right side than the left. A similar pattern of activation was evident when subjects read aloud, but heard the words in another person's voice instead of their own. The active tasks differed in that reading aloud with distorted feedback was also associated with activation in the left insula/operculum, whereas reading with alien feedback led to activation in medial prefrontal cortex (p < 0.(01).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
