Figure 4.

Figure 4

Top illustrates the within-modality processing of abstractness in language semantics ([AS > CS], blue), gesture semantics ([AG > CG], yellow), and in common neural structures (green, overlapping regions). Bar graphs in the middle of figure illustrate the contrast estimates (extracted eigenvariates) for the commonly activated (green) medial superior frontal (left) and temporal pole/IFG cluster (right). These are representative for all overlapping activation clusters. The within-modality processing of concrete in contrast to abstract language semantics ([CS > AS], blue) and gesture semantics ([CG > AG], yellow) is illustrated at the bottom of figure. Here we found no overlap between activation patterns.
