Results of the contrast between pantomime production and baseline task in the deaf participants (row A) and hearing non-signers (row B). Row C shows the results for the between subjects contrast (deaf – hearing non-signers) for the same task comparisons. The color overlay reflects significant increased activity at an uncorrected level, and regions in red reflect increased activity at a RFT corrected level (p < 0.05). Compared to the baseline task, pantomime production by both deaf and hearing participants resulted in greater activity in left superior parietal lobule. For the deaf participants, the increased activity was more extensive, encompassing the right parietal lobule, the left and right precentral gyrus, and right supplementary motor area.
