## Functional neuroanatomy of language without speech: An ALE meta-analysis of sign language ##
We identified the neural substrates of sign language in deaf singers on meta-analytic grounds by carrying out Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) meta-analysis and corresponding diagnostics using the functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) literature on sign language processing and production.
