Mirror Neurons and Speech

Description
Brain activation in the primary motor cortex that occurred when people said syllables aloud, said syllables to themselves silently, or heard someone else saying syllables. The two regions marked with yellow circles are involved in control of tongue movements (syllables that included the sound of t, shown in green) and lip movements (syllables that included the sound of p, shown in red). (From Pulvermüller, F., Huss, M., Kherif, F., et al. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, 2006, 103, 7865–7870. Reprinted with permission.)
