In this study, we seek to expand on this study by using diffusion tensor imaging to compare the pattern of white matter fibers originating from two different fMRI guided seed regions; the pre-SMA and the SMA-proper defined by fMRI language and motor paradigm respectively. We hypothesized that pre-SMA seed derived from the language paradigm will connect more readily to the frontal areas known to be associated with language function including Brocas Area
