Brain regions associated with praxis and imitative function include the primary visual cortex (V1); the visual region associated with recognition of movement (V5), the superior temporal sulcus (STS), which is associated with the perception of biological movement; the inferior parietal region, which is associated with storage of motor programs; the premotor regions, which are associated with transcoding of motor programs; and the primary motor cortex, which is associated with execution of motor programs. Connectivity between inferior parietal cortex and premotor cortex (red box), when lesioned, can lead to apraxia.
