Evidence exists that the observation of actions activates the same cortical motor areas that
are involved in the performance of the observed actions. The neural substrate for this is the …

Despite the general acceptance that functional specialization plays an important role in
brain function, there is little consensus about its extent in the brain. We sought to advance …

Visual processing of actions is supported by a network consisting of occipito-temporal,
parietal, and premotor regions in the human brain, known as the Action Observation …

Most cognitive models of apraxia assume that impaired tool use results from a deficit
occurring at the conceptual level, which contains dedicated information about tool use …

Lesion size and location affect the magnitude of impairment and recovery following stroke,
but the precise relationship between these variables and functional outcome is unknown …

Context facilitates the recognition of forthcoming actions by pointing to which intention is
likely to drive them. This intention is thought to be estimated in a ventral pathway linking …

Visual perception of actions is supported by a network of brain regions in the occipito-
temporal, parietal, and premotor cortex in the primate brain, known as the Action …

General cognitive ability, or general intelligence (g), is central to cognitive science, yet the
processes that constitute it remain unknown, in good part because most prior work has …

The linguistic profile of Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by difficulties in processing
units which denote bodily movements. However, the available evidence has low ecological …

Over the past two decades single cell recordings in primates and neuroimaging experiments
in humans have uncovered the key properties of visuo-motor mirror neurons located in …
