Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hauk, Johnsrude, and Pulvermiller (2004) found that listening to verbs such as lick and kick resulted in the activation of the motor cortex, which is responsible for planning and executing movements. The amygdala is involved in processing emotions and fear responses, the hypothalamus regulates basic physiological processes such as hunger and thirst, and the thalamus acts as a relay center for sensory information. However, none of these structures were specifically mentioned in relation to the study's findings on the activation of the motor cortex in response to verb listening.
