The structure of social cognition: In (ter) dependence of sociocognitive processes
Social cognition is a topic of enormous interest and much research, but we are far from
having an agreed taxonomy or factor structure of relevant processes. The aim of this review …

Mirror neurons and their clinical relevance
One of the most exciting events in neurosciences over the past few years has been the
discovery of a mechanism that unifies action perception and action execution. The essence …

Specifying the neurobiological basis of human attachment: brain, hormones, and behavior in synchronous and intrusive mothers
The mother–infant bond provides the foundation for the infant's future mental health and
adaptation and depends on the provision of species-typical maternal behaviors that are …

What modulates the mirror neuron system during action observation?: Multiple factors involving the action, the actor, the observer, the relationship between actor and …
D Kemmerer - Progress in Neurobiology, 2021 - Elsevier
Seeing an agent perform an action typically triggers a motor simulation of that action in the
observer's Mirror Neuron System (MNS). Over the past few years, it has become increasingly …

The mirror system and its role in social cognition
G Rizzolatti, M Fabbri-Destro - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2008 - Elsevier
Experiments in monkeys have shown that coding the goal of the motor acts is a fundamental
property of the cortical motor system. In area F5, goal-coding motor neurons are also …

Coupling perception to action through incidental sensory consequences of motor behaviour
M Rolfs, R Schweitzer - Nature Reviews Psychology, 2022 - nature.com
Researchers in the field of active perception study how sensory processes coalesce with
motor actions to extract information from the world. Such actions intrinsically alter perceptual …

[HTML][HTML] Motor invariants in action execution and perception
The nervous system is sensitive to statistical regularities of the external world and forms
internal models of these regularities to predict environmental dynamics. Given the inherently …

Dynamic modulation of human motor activity when observing actions
Previous studies have demonstrated that when we observe somebody else executing an
action many areas of our own motor systems are active. It has been argued that these motor …
