“…In line with this hypothesis, Budisavljević et al (2017) showed an association between the microstructural properties of the bilateral FAT and the hand kinematics in the grasping and reaching-to grasp movements, performed with the right hand. This proposal aligns well with the hypothesis that the FAT is primarily involved in the selection and control of the appropriate plan for motor action, consistently with what suggested by recent literature about the role of this tract (Dick et al, 2019; Shekari & Nozari, 2022). The fact that in BBs the inhibition of the signed modality involves both the right and the left FAT, while the inhibition of the spoken modality only involves the left FAT, further supports the idea that, on the left side, the FAT specializes for the control of speech actions (Dick et al, 2019).…”
