The anatomy of language has been investigated with PET or fMRI for more than 20years.
Here I attempt to provide an overview of the brain areas associated with heard speech …

Motor imagery (MI) or the mental simulation of action is now increasingly being studied
using neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography and functional …

An emerging class of theories concerning the functional structure of the brain takes the
reuse of neural circuitry for various cognitive purposes to be a central organizational …

Over the last decade, many neuroimaging studies have assessed the human brain networks
underlying action observation and imitation using a variety of tasks and paradigms …

The structure of the brain and the nature of evolution suggest that, despite its uniqueness,
language likely depends on brain systems that also subserve other functions. The …

Functional dissociations within the neural basis of auditory sentence processing are difficult
to specify because phonological, syntactic and semantic information are all involved when …

Previous neuroimaging research has identified a number of brain regions sensitive to
different aspects of linguistic processing, but precise functional characterization of these …

▪ Abstract Until recently, our understanding of how language is organized in the brain
depended on analysis of behavioral deficits in patients with fortuitously placed lesions. The …

The cortical regions of the brain traditionally associated with the comprehension of language
are Wernicke's area and Broca's area. However, recent evidence suggests that other brain …

Functional imaging gives us increasingly detailed information about the location of brain
activity. To use this information, we need a clear conception of the meaning of location data …
