Bidirectional Connectivity Between Broca's Area and Wernicke's Area During Interactive Verbal Communication.

ABSTRACT: Aim: This investigation aims to advance the understanding of neural dynamics that underlies live and natural interactions during spoken dialogue between two individuals. Introduction: The underlying hypothesis is that functional connectivity between canonical speech areas in the human brain will be modulated by social interaction. Methods: Granger causality was applied to compare directional connectivity across Broca's and Wernicke's areas during verbal conditions consisting of interactive and noninteractive communication. Thirty-three pairs of healthy adult participants alternately talked and listened to each other while performing an object naming and description task that was either interactive or not during hyperscanning with functional near-in
