TLDR
A neurofunctional double dissociation is found in speech sound discrimination, supporting the idea that motor structures provide a specific functional contribution to the perception of speech sounds.

The anatomy of language: a review of 100 fMRI studies published in 2009.

TL;DR: Anatomical and functional connectivity studies are now required to identify the processing pathways that integrate these areas to support language.
Journal ArticleDOI

An integrated theory of language production and comprehension

TL;DR: It is asserted that producing and understanding are interwoven, and that this interweaving is what enables people to predict themselves and each other.

Active perception: sensorimotor circuits as a cortical basis for language

TL;DR: Data show that language comprehension benefits from frontocentral action systems, indicating that action and perception circuits are interdependent.

Sensorimotor Integration in Speech Processing: Computational Basis and Neural Organization

TL;DR: An integrative model of the speech-related "dorsal stream" in which sensorimotor interaction primarily supports speech production, in the form of a state feedback control architecture, and evidence shows that this influence is modulatory but not necessary for speech perception.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computational neuroanatomy of speech production

TL;DR: The goal of this article is to integrate psycholinguistic and motor control approaches to speech production into a neuroanatomically grounded, hierarchical state feedback control model of speech production.

The mirror-neuron system.

TL;DR: A neurophysiological mechanism appears to play a fundamental role in both action understanding and imitation, and those properties specific to the human mirror-neuron system that might explain the human capacity to learn by imitation are stressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cortical organization of speech processing

TL;DR: A dual-stream model of speech processing is outlined that assumes that the ventral stream is largely bilaterally organized — although there are important computational differences between the left- and right-hemisphere systems — and that the dorsal stream is strongly left- Hemisphere dominant.

Brain mechanisms linking language and action.

TL;DR: A critical case is that of action words that are semantically related to different parts of the body (for example, 'lick', 'pick' and 'kick'): does the comprehension of these words specifically, rapidly and automatically activate the motor system in a somatotopic manner, and does their comprehension rely on activity in the action system?
