Does the Motor Cortex Want the Full Story? The Influence of Sentence Context on Corticospinal Excitability in Action Language Processing

•We studied the effects of action words and sentence context on motor activity.•Corticospinal excitability is modulated by the presence of manual action verbs.•Context helps eliminate residual motor activation when no manual action is present. The reading of action verbs has been shown to activate m...
