This axial (cross sectional) T1 weighted MRI image of the brain with colour overlay shows the area of brain activation during a language task. In this task the patient listens passively to stories while special MRI scans are performed. The scans can detect tiny amounts of increased blood flow to the regions of the brain which are activated during the task. The areas of expected brain activation in this case would be Wernicke's Areas (site for language comprehension) which is in the superior temporal gyrus which is the large orange region on the readers right.
