Background: As we human beings are living in a multidimensional space all the time.
Therefore, spatial ability is vital for the survival and development of individuals. However …

Classical cognitive theories hold that word representations in the brain are abstract and
amodal, and are independent of the objects' sensorimotor properties they refer to. An …

One of the most controversial issues in the cognitive neuroscience literature on concepts is
whether the motor features of verb meanings are represented in the precentral motor …

According to grounded cognition, words whose semantics contain sensory‐motor features
activate sensory‐motor simulations, which, in turn, interact with spatial responses to produce …

We can predict how an object would look like if we were to see it from different viewpoints.
The brain network governing mental rotation (MR) has been studied using a variety of stimuli …

Many neurocognitive studies on the role of motor structures in action-language processing
have implicitly adopted a “dictionary-like” framework within which lexical meaning is …

Whether motor and linguistic representations of actions share common neural structures has
recently been the focus of an animated debate in cognitive neuroscience. Group studies with …

The primary motor cortex (M1) is traditionally implicated in voluntary movement control. In
order to test the hypothesis that there is a functional topography of M1 activation in studies …

The relationship between the brain's conceptual or semantic and sensory–motor systems
remains controversial. Here, we tested manual and conceptual abilities of 41 chronic stroke …

This fMRI study investigated the functional mechanisms related to mental simulation of
abstract-and action-related words and measured the effect of the type of stimulus (Abstract …
