Abstract
We measured changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) induced by reading, naming, and the Stroop effect in 12 right-handed normal volun teers, rCBF was quantified with a single-photon emission computerized tomograph after intravenous injection of Xe-133. Data were analyzed us ing predetermined regions of interest and a linear model. A significan t relative activation was revealed in the right superior mesial fronta l region during the Stroop effect.
