ROI activation maps for children in the DLD and TD groups. A Activation levels in the DLD group during the SIN comprehension task compared to the quiet speech comprehension task. Under the noisy condition, the DLD group showed reduced activation in the left DLPFC, left Broca’s area, and right Wernicke’s area. B Activation patterns in the TD group during the SIN comprehension task compared to the quiet verbal comprehension task. Under the noisy condition, the TD group showed increased activation in the left STG and MTG and the right STG and MTG. C During the SIN comprehension task, activation levels in the left DLPFC, left Broca’s area, left STG and MTG, right Wernicke’s area, and right STG and MTG were lower in the DLD group than those in the TD group
