Causal Lesion Evidence for Two Motor Speech Coordination Networks in the Brain

William Burns, Emma Strawderman, Steven P. Meyers, Tyler J. Schmidt, Kevin A. Walter, Webster H. Pilcher, Bradford Z. Mahon, Frank E. Garcea

The paper shows that lesions in specific brain areas affect different motor speech coordination networks, supporting distinct sensory-to-motor transformations for laryngeal and orofacial control.

Visual processing of manipulable objects in the ventral stream is modulated by inputs from parietal action systems

Frank E. Garcea, Emma Strawderman, William Burns, Matthew J. Cotroneo, Steven P. Meyers, Tyler J. Schmidt, Kevin A. Walter, Webster H. Pilcher, Bradford Z. Mahon

The paper shows that parietal action systems modulate ventral stream processing of manipulable objects via structural connectivity, using lesion and diffusion MRI data.
