P 19 Left posterior inferior frontal gyrus is causally involved in complex sentence comprehension

Storage and reordering of words are two core processes required for successful sentence comprehension. Storage is necessary whenever the verb and its arguments (i.e., subject and object) are separated over a long distance, while reordering is necessary whenever the argument order is atypical (e.g., object-first order in German, where subject-first order is typical). Previous neuroimaging work (Meyer et al., 2012) has associated storage with the left planum temporale (PT), and reordering with the left posterior inferior frontal gyrus (pIFG).
