... Such a proposal is supported by evidence that brain areas implicated in inner speech, such as the left inferior frontal gyrus (including Broca's area) and the right temporal cortex (Huang, Carr, & Cao, 2001; Jones, in press; McGuire, Silbersweig, Murray, et al., 1996) are activated during AVHs (McGuire, Shah, & Murray, 1993; Shergill et al., 2004; Shergill, Brammer, Williams, Murray, & McGuire, 2000). Although some have questioned whether the finding of inferior frontal gyrus activation during AVHs is an artifact of using a button-press to signal onset of AVHs during imaging (Hunter & Spence, 2005), other studies which have not used a button-press to signal onset, but have instead asked post-imaging whether an AVH was experienced, have also shown inferior frontal gyrus activation in AVHs (Shergill, Brammer, et al., 2000). This said, several other imaging studies have failed to replicate the finding that inferior frontal gyrus activation is associated with the experience of AVHs (e.g., Lennox et al., 2000; Silbersweig et al., 1995). ...
