The role of premotor cortex in speech perception: evidence from fMRI and rTMS.
نویسنده
چکیده
This article discusses recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) data that suggest a direct involvement of premotor cortical areas in speech perception. These new data map well onto psychological theories advocating an active role of motor structures in the perception of speech sounds. It is proposed that the perception of speech is enabled--at least in part--by a process that simulates speech production.

Individual differences in premotor and motor recruitment during speech perception.
Although activity in premotor and motor cortices is commonly observed in neuroimaging studies of spoken language processing, the degree to which this activity is an obligatory part of everyday speech comprehension remains unclear. We hypothesised that rather than being a unitary phenomenon, the neural response to speech perception in motor regions would differ across listeners as a function of ...
متن کاملImpairment of Auditory-Motor Timing and Compensatory Reorganization after Ventral Premotor Cortex Stimulation
Integrating auditory and motor information often requires precise timing as in speech and music. In humans, the position of the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) in the dorsal auditory stream renders this area a node for auditory-motor integration. Yet, it remains unknown whether the PMv is critical for auditory-motor timing and which activity increases help to preserve task performance following i...
متن کاملTesting the Role of Dorsal Premotor Cortex in Auditory-Motor Association Learning Using Transcranical Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Interactions between the auditory and the motor systems are critical in music as well as in other domains, such as speech. The premotor cortex, specifically the dorsal premotor cortex (dPMC), seems to play a key role in auditory-motor integration, and in mapping the association between a sound and the movement used to produce it. In the present studies we tested the causal role of the dPMC in l...
متن کاملResearch with transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of aphasia.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been used to improve language behavior, including naming, in stroke patients with chronic, nonfluent aphasia. Part 1 of this article reviews functional imaging studies related to language recovery in aphasia. Part 2 reviews the rationale for using rTMS to treat nonfluent aphasia (based on functional imaging) and presents our current rTMS p...
متن کاملThe Essential Role of Premotor Cortex in Speech Perception
Besides the involvement of superior temporal regions in processing complex speech sounds, evidence suggests that the motor system might also play a role [1-4]. This suggests that the hearer might perceive speech by simulating the articulatory gestures of the speaker [5, 6]. It is still an open question whether this simulation process is necessary for speech perception. We applied repetitive tra...
