Cortical activity pattern in complex tasks

The goal of this study is to investigate the organization of the human cortical activity in complex tasks like verbal production, taking into account some recent experimental results in the fields of neuroanatomy/neurophysiology obtained applying the functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) system.
