EPV 19. Dissociable regions for recognition and execution of conceptual and spatio-temporal action characteristics in acute stroke patients

The ability to recognize and respond to actions performed by others is fundamental for a wide range of activities involving social interactions. However, despite an enormous number of functional imaging studies, a precise delineation of the brain regions crucial for distinct aspects of action recognition has remained elusive. Moreover, the degree of overlap between regions involved in active action performance is controversial.To elucidate these issues, 98 acute stroke patients (68 male, age meanSD, 6513 years) were examined in the acute period after stroke (meanSD 4.42 days after symptom onset).
