other note, subcortical regions (16 citations) were also implicated, primarily accounted for by the basal ganglia (11/16 = 69%, as revealed by a third-level analysis). (Table 7 here) (Figure 5 here) Kinesthetic The kinesthetic literature review identified 41 studies, including 142 citations of primary neural regions. The core cognitive units of kinesthetic intelligence included body awareness and control, whole body movement, dexterity, and other types of movement (e.g., imitation, embodied cognition, gestures). Results from the analysis of the primary neural regions can be found in Table 8 and Figure 6. The primary neural region analysis revealed the frontal cortex as most frequently cited (61 citations). A secondary analysis revealed that the dominant sub-region of the frontal cortex for kinesthetic intelligence was the motor cortex (46/61 = 75%). A third-level analysis further identified the primary motor cortex (19/46 = 41%), premotor cortex (15/46 = 33%), and supplementary motor area (9/46 = 20%) as dominant sub-regions. Furthermore, the primary analysis identified the parietal cortex as the next most associated primary region (33 citations) within kinesthetic intelligence. Within the parietal cortex, the posterior parietal cortex was associated with the most citations (7/33 = 21%). Other regions of interest identified by the primary analysis included subcortical regions (15 citations),
