Cortical mechanisms underlying the organization of goal-directed actions and mirror neuron-based action understanding
Our understanding of the functions of motor system evolved remarkably in the last 20 years.
This is the consequence not only of an increase in the amount of data on this system but …

The functional role of the parieto-frontal mirror circuit: interpretations and misinterpretations
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 neural basis of human tool use
In this review, we propose that the neural basis for the spontaneous, diversified human tool
use is an area devoted to the execution and observation of tool actions, located in the left …
