Components

(generated)

Component items:

• Wernicke's area A3 (NSA.NC.STG.A3): Classify with respect to content
• Wernicke's area A4 (NSA.NC.STG.A4): Coordinate the activation or deactivation of grammar areas
• Parainsular Area (NPE.NC.STG.PAI): Medial auditory stream
• Temporopolar Cortex (NCP.NC.TPC): Self representation, semantic (left) and autobiographic (right)
