abstract = {It is debated how language and praxis are co-represented in
the left hemisphere (LH). As voxel-based lesion-symptom
mapping in LH stroke patients with aphasia and/or apraxia
may contribute to this debate, we here investigated the
relationship between language and praxis deficits at the
behavioral and lesion levels in 50 sub-acute stroke
patients. We hypothesized that language and (meaningful)
action are linked via semantic processing in Broca’s
region. Behaviorally, half of the patients suffered from
co-morbid aphasia and apraxia. While 24 $\%$ (n = 12) of all
patients exhibited aphasia without apraxia, apraxia without
aphasia was rare (n = 2, 4 $\%).$ Left inferior frontal,
insular, inferior parietal, and superior temporal lesions
were specifically associated with deficits in naming,
reading, writing, or auditory comprehension. In contrast,
lesions affecting the left inferior frontal gyrus, premotor
cortex, and the central region as well as the inferior
parietal lobe were associated with apraxic deficits (i.e.,
pantomime, imitation of meaningful and meaningless
gestures). Thus, contrary to the predictions of the embodied
cognition theory, lesions to sensorimotor and premotor areas
were associated with the severity of praxis but not language
deficits. Lesions of Brodmann area (BA) 44 led to combined
apraxic and aphasic deficits. Data suggest that BA 44 acts
as an interface between language and (meaningful) action
thereby supporting parcellation schemes (based on
connectivity and receptor mapping) which revealed a BA 44
sub-area involved in semantic processing.},
