LAURA neural source reconstruction of the ERP training effects (last vs. first exposure with novel word-forms) obtained for P200 and N400 time windows. T-maps represent the brain location of differences in current source density between the last and first exposure to novel words, with the loci of maximal differences framed in red. For the early, P200 time window (left panel), the left lingual gyrus (lLG) and bilateral superior frontal gyrus (SFG) were found as the most probable neural sources for the P200 increase obtained at scalp level, whose activity was found stronger along the exposures with novel word-forms. For the late time window (right panel), the neural generators of the N400 reduction were most expressed in the right middle and superior temporal gyrus, right angular gyrus and the left middle frontal gyrus, whose activity was found reduced from the first to the last exposure with novel written word-forms. Graphs show the mean current source magnitudes at significant ROIs. Labels refer to neural sources: lLG (left Lingual Gyrus), rSFG (right Superior Frontal Gyrus), lSFG (left Superior Frontal Gyrus), lPostCG (left Postcentral Gyrus), rMTGant (right Middle Temporal Gyrus, anterior section), rMTGpos (right Middle Temporal Gyrus, posterior section), rSTG (right Superior Temporal Gyrus), rAG (right Angular Gyrus), lMFG (left Middle Frontal Gyrus)
