Where is the semantic system? A critical review and meta-analysis of 120 functional neuroimaging studies
Semantic memory refers to knowledge about people, objects, actions, relations, self, and
culture acquired through experience. The neural systems that store and retrieve this …

The mirror-neuron system
▪ Abstract A category of stimuli of great importance for primates, humans in particular, is that
formed by actions done by other individuals. If we want to survive, we must understand the …

The organization of the human cerebral cortex estimated by intrinsic functional connectivity
Abstract Information processing in the cerebral cortex involves interactions among
distributed areas. Anatomical connectivity suggests that certain areas form local hierarchical …

Neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the understanding and imitation of action
What are the neural bases of action understanding? Although this capacity could merely
involve visual analysis of the action, it has been argued that we actually map this visual …

Neural simulation of action: a unifying mechanism for motor cognition
M Jeannerod - Neuroimage, 2001 - Elsevier
Paradigms drawn from cognitive psychology have provided new insight into covert stages of
action. These states include not only intending actions that will eventually be executed, but …

Cortical mechanisms of human imitation
How does imitation occur? How can the motor plans necessary for imitating an action derive
from the observation of that action? Imitation may be based on a mechanism directly …

Action observation activates premotor and parietal areas in a somatotopic manner: an fMRI study
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to localize brain areas that were
active during the observation of actions made by another individual. Object‐and non‐object …

There is a large body of psychological and neuroimaging experiments that have interpreted
their findings in favor of a functional equivalence between action generation, action …

Two action systems in the human brain
The distinction between dorsal and ventral visual processing streams, first proposed by
Ungerleider and Mishkin (1982) and later refined by Milner and Goodale (1995) has been …

Neural circuits underlying imitation learning of hand actions: an event-related fMRI study
The neural bases of imitation learning are virtually unknown. In the present study, we
addressed this issue using an event-related fMRI paradigm. Musically naive participants …
