Abstract in brief

The study analyzed 439 neuroimaging experiments to compare brain networks involved in Motor, Visual, and Auditory Mental Imagery, finding that each modality activates specific higher-level brain regions linked to real experiences.
There is also notable overlap in a left-lateralized brain network—including areas like the presupplementary motor area and inferior parietal lobule—that supports core functions of attention, spatial awareness, and decision-making in mental imagery.
Overall, the research suggests a multisensory approach, highlighting both distinct and shared neural networks, which advances our understanding of how the brain supports human imagination across different senses.]
