Functional connectivity explains how neuronavigated TMS of posterior temporal subregions differentially affect language processing

“Wernicke's area” is most often used to describe the posterior superior temporal gyrus (STG) and refers to a region traditionally thought to support language comprehension. However, the posterior STG additionally plays a critical role in language production. The purpose of the current study was to determine to what extent regions within the posterior STG are selectively recruited during language production.
