Although a large proportion of our lives are spent participating in social interactions, the
investigation of the neural mechanisms supporting these interactions has largely been …

The mirror mechanism is a basic brain mechanism that transforms sensory representations
of others' behaviour into one's own motor or visceromotor representations concerning that …

This article argues that mirror neurons originate in sensorimotor associative learning and
therefore a new approach is needed to investigate their functions. Mirror neurons were …

In spite of the remarkable progress made in the burgeoning field of social neuroscience, the
neural mechanisms that underlie social encounters are only beginning to be studied and …

Simulation theories of social cognition abound in the literature, but it is often unclear what
simulation means and how it works. The discovery of mirror neurons, responding both to …

The parieto-frontal cortical circuit that is active during action observation is the circuit with
mirror properties that has been most extensively studied. Yet, there remains controversy on …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

Morally judicious behavior forms the fabric of human sociality. Here, we sought to investigate
neural activity associated with different facets of moral thought. Previous research suggests …

This meta-analysis explores the role of the cerebellum in social cognition. Recent meta-
analyses of neuroimaging studies since 2008 demonstrate that the cerebellum is only …

This meta-analysis explores the role of the mirror and mentalizing systems in the
understanding of other people's action goals. Based on over 200 fMRI studies, this analysis …
