FIGURE 7.1The brain. Each hemisphere of the cerebrum is composed of four lobes. Below the cerebrum in the back of the head is the
cerebellum, which is also made up of two hemispheres
FIGURE 7.2A lateral view of anatomical structures in the left hemispheres of the cerebrum and the cerebellum. The same structures are
found on the right side
FIGURE 7.3A neuron and its parts
FIGURE 7.4Brodmann’s areas of the lateral part of the left hemisphere. The same areas are found in the right hemisphere. Not shown are
the Brodmann’s areas of the medial part of the cerebrum
FIGURE 7.5A whole-head view of some subcortical structures, including the basal ganglia. In each hemisphere, the basal ganglia consist
of several substructures, of which the caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus are indicated here
FIGURE 7.6A medial view of the cerebrum, including the hippocampus and various structures to which it is closely connected
FIGURE 7.7A person being prepared for an MRI scan. He will slide into the open hole (the “bore”), around which the MR magnet is
situated. The subject’s head is enclosed in a “head coil,” which transmits the radio waves that knock the hydrogen atoms out of alignment within the magnetic field. The head coil also receives the signal back from the hydrogen atoms as they return
to a stable alignment

FIGURE 7.9Left hemisphere regions implicated in language, as discussed in this section. These regions include classical Wernicke’s and Broca’s areas. Wernicke’s area is generally taken to correspond to the posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus (BA 22). Broca’s area refers to BA 44 and BA 45 (that is, the opercular part and the triangular part, respectively, of the inferior
frontal gyrus)
FIGURE 7.10A left lateral view of the cerebrum showing greater activation for the production of sentences as compared to word lists (see
text). The two overlapping (crosshatched) areas of activation, which encompass BA 44 and the frontal operculum, reflect two experiments that used the same stimuli on two different sets of subjects. (Figure adapted from Indefrey et al. 2004)
FIGURE 7.11A recent MEG study of past-tense production. Displayed here are two areas that showed significant differences in activation between regulars and irregulars at particular points in time after the presentation of the prompt (see text; figure adapted from
Dhond et al. 2003)
