Peak MNI coordinates of left-hemisphere primary motor and premotor activations reported by fMRI studies that have probed the neural substrates of root-level motor features of verbs and sentences encoding and leg/foot actions, arm/hand actions, and mouth actions. Activations are plotted on a color-coded inflated 3D brain with definitions for the primary motor cortex (dark blue) and premotor cortex (yellow) from Mayka et al.’s (2006) Human Motor Area Template (HMAT). In particular, the primary motor cortex ROI corresponds to M1 in the HMAT, and the premotor cortex ROI is defined as the combination of ventral (PMv) and dorsal (PMd) premotor ROIs in the HMAT.
