In the fMRI study 3 months after the operation the activation in both speech regions decreased but remain left-sided (Figure 2).

In the third fMRI study 32 months after surgery the signal increased in the left-sided regions, but additionally activation in the right-sided Broca's and Wernicke's areas appeared (Figure 3).

In the fourth fMRI, the LI for both Broca's and Wernicke's areas became symmetrical. (Figure 4) The results are shown in Table 1.
