The cortical localization of the lexicons. Positron emission tomography evidence.

TL;DR: Positron emission tomography was used to investigate changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in neurologically normal subjects during word reading and word repetition, and it is argued that they are consistent with localization of a lexicon for spoken word recognition in the middle part of the left superior and middle temporal gyri, and a Lexicon for written word Recognition in the posterior part ofThe left middle temporal gyrus.

Mu rhythm modulation during observation of an object-directed grasp

TL;DR: In this paper, the human electroencephalographic mu rhythm is suppressed during the observation of actions performed by other persons, an effect that may be functionally related to the behaviour of so-called mirror neurons observed in area F5 of nonhuman primates.

The cerebral balance of power: confrontation or cooperation?

Action Representation of Sound: Audiomotor Recognition Network While Listening to Newly Acquired Actions
