Fig 1. Glass-brain maps of the random-effects analysis. For labeling of the activated areas see Table 1. Axial and coronal view: left: left hemisphere; right: right hemisphere; sagittal view: whole-brain activation is visible.
A, Naming – rest.
B, Naming plus generation – rest.

Fig 3. Reproducibility maps for the contrasts (A) naming – rest and (B) generation plus naming – rest. Voxels classified as active in any session or subject (green) and common voxels (color coded with respect to frequency of occurrence according to the color scale). Only activation in the regions of interest (Broca area and left insula) is displayed.
