A: Topographical distribution of cortical activation (left-hemispheric view) in the source space (MNE in nAm) for verbs presented in minimal context. Anatomical projection as in Figure 1. In contrast to experiment 1, the early activation (250–300 ms, left) in the temporal region is weaker, whereas later activation (350–450 ms, right) in the more frontal region is stronger. B: Time course of activation for verbs presented together with a noun averaged across subjects separately for the three verb categories (with one, two, and three arguments). C: Group mean and standard error of the latencies (ordinate: in msec) for name-verb pairs with verbs including either one, two, or three arguments (abscissa).
