Volume of injury is often used to describe a brain insult. However, this approach assumes
cortical equivalency and ignores the special importance that certain cortical regions have in …

Apart from being increasingly implicated in higher motor control, Broca's area is considered
to play an important role in action understanding by coding the motor goal of an action …

Activation of the left ventral premotor cortex (PMv) has in previous imaging studies been
associated with the processing of visually presented artefacts. It has been suggested that …

Clinicians and scientists alike have long sought to predict the course and severity of chronic
post-stroke cognitive and motor outcomes, as the ability to do so would inform treatment and …

Neuroimaging and neuropsychological experiments suggest that modality-preferential
cortices, including motor-and somatosensory areas, contribute to the semantic processing of …

Over the past two decades, several functional neuroimaging experiments demonstrated
changes in neural activity in stroke patients with motor deficits. Conclusions from single …

Objects are reminiscent of actions often performed with them: knife and apple remind us on
peeling the apple or cutting it. Mnemonic representations of object-related actions (action …

Impaired retrieval of conceptual knowledge for actions has been associated with lesions of
left premotor, left parietal, and left middle temporal areas [Tranel, D., Kemmerer, D., Adolphs …

Actions can be planned and recognized at different hierarchical levels, ranging from very
specific (eg, to swim backstroke) to very broad (eg, locomotion). Understanding the …

Mentalization is the process by which an observer views a target as possessing higher
cognitive faculties such as goals, intentions and desires. Mentalization can be assessed …
