According to the embodiment theory, processing language that refers to motor actions (e.g., verbs such as "grasp" or "step") recruits the activity of brain regions involved in controlling different parts of the body (hands, feet...).

Recently, CIMCYC researchers Pablo Solana and Julio Santiago have evaluated the reliability of this literature through a meta-analytical study published in the journal Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews.
