Revisiting human language and speech production network: A meta-analytic connectivity modeling study by Chun-Wei Hsu, Chu-Chung Huang, Chih-Chin Heather Hsu, Yanchao Bi, Ovid Jyh-Lang Tzeng, Ching-Po Lin

“…By utilizing a series of meta-analytic approaches based on various language tasks, we dissociated four major systems in this study: domain-general, high-level language, motor-perception, and speech-control systems. Using meta-analytic connectivity modeling, we found that while the domain-general system is coactivated with high-level language regions and speech-control networks, only the speech-control network at the ventral precentral gyrus is coactivated with other systems during different speech-related tasks, including motor perception. …”
