Atypical lateralization of language is functionally supported by a rightward participation of the AF, but modulated by musicianship. Functionnectome and language lateralization during the verb-generation task. Colored regions correspond to white matter voxels that present a significant correlation between Functionnectome-derived activation and mean LI, depending on musicianship. Red voxels decrease their activation with atypical lateralization among musicians. Green voxels increase their activation with atypical lateralization among nonmusicians. Voxel-wise FDR-corrected at p < 0.05. The scatterplots depict these correlations (top plot, mean red region; bottom plot, mean green region) for both musicianship groups.
