From observed action identity to social affordances
Others' observed actions cause continuously changing retinal images, making it challenging
to build neural representations of action identity. The monkey anterior intraparietal area …

The extended mirror neuron network: anatomy, origin, and functions
L Bonini - The Neuroscientist, 2017 - journals.sagepub.com
Mirror neurons (MNs) are a fascinating class of cells originally discovered in the ventral

The macaque lateral grasping network: a neural substrate for generating purposeful hand actions
In primates, neural mechanisms for controlling skilled hand actions primarily rely on
sensorimotor transformations. These transformations are mediated by circuits linking specific …
