Activations associated with planning and executing right hand tool use gestures. (A) When compared with preparing random hand movements (CONTROLNOGO condition), planning tool use gestures for the right hand (TOOL-NOGO) is associated with major activations in posterior parietal cortex, posterior temporal, inferior-middle frontal cortices and DLFPC all within the left cerebral hemisphere. (B) Gesture execution involves similar regions as well as a number of other cortical and subcortical structures associated with sensory and motor processes in both hemispheres. Note the strong activation present in contralateral left sensorimotor cortex. See text for details.
