abstract = {Behavioural studies in apraxic patients revealed
dissociations between the processing of meaningful (MF) and
meaningless (ML) gestures. Consequently, the existence of
two differential neural mechanisms for the imitation of
either gesture type has been postulated. While the indirect
(semantic) route exclusively enables the imitation of MF
gestures, the direct route can be used for the imitation of
any gesture type, irrespective of meaning, and thus
especially for ML gestures. Concerning neural correlates, it
is debated which of the visuo-motor streams (i.e., the
ventral steam, the ventro-dorsal stream, or the dorso-dorsal
stream) supports the postulated indirect and direct
imitation routes.To probe the hypotheses that regions of the
dorso-dorsal stream are involved differentially in the
imitation of ML gestures and that regions of the
ventro-dorsal stream are involved differentially in the
imitation of MF gestures, we analysed behavioural (imitation
of MF and ML finger gestures) and lesion data of 293
patients with a left hemisphere (LH) stroke.Confirming
previous work, the current sample of LH stroke patients
imitated MF finger gestures better than ML finger gestures.
The analysis using voxel-based lesion symptom mapping (VLSM)
revealed that LH damage to dorso-dorsal stream areas was
associated with an impaired imitation of ML finger gestures,
whereas damage to ventro-dorsal regions was associated with
a deficient imitation of MF finger gestures.Accordingly, the
analyses of the imitation of visually uniform and thus
highly comparable MF and ML finger gestures support the
dual-route model for gesture imitation at the behavioural
and lesion level in a substantial patient sample.
Furthermore, the data show that the direct route for ML
finger gesture imitation depends on the dorso-dorsal
visuo-motor stream while the indirect route for MF finger
gesture imitation is related to regions of the ventro-dorsal
visuo-motor stream.},
