Extended Data Fig. 1: White matter integrity of the bilateral VOTC–LeftAG tract predicts model–brain correspondence of CLIP and MoCo (n = 33 patients).

Correlation coefficients and one-tailed P values are displayed on the plots (d.f.=30). a. Partial correlations between bilateral VOTC–LeftAG tract integrity and model–brain correspondence, controlling for lesion volume. Both sentence description effects (CLIP-specific) and MoCo-specific effects correlate significantly with VOTC–LeftAG tract integrity. b. Validation analysis using connections with right AG shows no significant relationships, confirming left-lateralized pathway specificity.
