Action observation is supported by a network of regions in occipito-temporal, parietal, and
premotor cortex in primates. Recent research suggests that the parietal node has regions …

Understanding actions of conspecifics is a fundamental social ability depending largely on
the activation of a parieto-frontal network. Using functional MRI (fMRI), we studied how goal …

In both monkeys and humans, the observation of actions performed by others activates
cortical motor areas. An unresolved question concerns the pathways through which motor …

Research from macaque neurophysiology and human neuropsychology has implicated the
parietal cortex in the sensory control of action. Functional neuroimaging has been very …

Precise kinematics or body configuration cannot be recovered from visual input without
disparity information. Yet, no imaging study has investigated the role of disparity on action …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to localize brain areas that were
active during the observation of actions made by another individual. Object-and non-object …

Over the last decade, many neuroimaging studies have assessed the human brain networks
underlying action observation and imitation using a variety of tasks and paradigms …

Observing others performing motor acts like grasping has been shown to elicit neural
responses in the observers parieto-frontal motor network, which typically becomes active …

The lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC) has been shown to capture the representational
structure of a smaller range of actions. In the current study, we carried out an fMRI …

We used the 14C-deoxyglucose method to map the functional activity in the cortex of the
lateral and medial parietal convexity, the intraparietal and the parietoccipital sulci of …
