The observation of an action evokes discharges in a rich network of cortical areas [1–14]. In the present study, we have evaluated the effect of grasp execution and of the observation of others' grasping on the activity of neurons in the medial parietal area V6A, an area of the reach-to-grasp network never explored to date in this regard. Although V6A neurons are typically active during one's own grasping execution but not while one observes another's grasping, a minority of neurons showed mirror properties, active both when monkeys performed the task and when they observed it being performed by the experimenter. Recent studies have shown that the discharge of mirror neurons may vary from congruent to noncongruent [7, 10, 15–17], but most mirror neurons show a clear relation between the visual action they respond to and the motor response they code [10], thus matching the sensory description of an …
