This meta-analysis explores the role of the cerebellum in social cognition. Recent meta-
analyses of neuroimaging studies since 2008 demonstrate that the cerebellum is only …

This meta-analysis explores the role of the mirror and mentalizing systems in the
understanding of other people's action goals. Based on over 200 fMRI studies, this analysis …

Long-standing speculations and more recent hypotheses propose a variety of possible
evolutionary connections between language, gesture and tool use. These arguments have …

The dorsal and ventral visual pathways represent both visual and conceptual object
properties. Yet the relative contribution of these two factors in the representational content of …

Occipito-temporal cortex is known to house visual object representations, but the
organization of the neural activation patterns along this cortex is still being discovered. Here …

In this review, we propose that the neural basis for the spontaneous, diversified human tool
use is an area devoted to the execution and observation of tool actions, located in the left …

Though other species of primates also use tools, humans appear unique in their capacity to
understand the causal relationship between tools and the result of their use. In a …

Over the last decades, scientists have questioned the origin of the exquisite human mastery
of tools. Seminal studies in monkeys, healthy participants and brain-damaged patients have …

How and where in the human brain high-level sensorimotor processes such as intentions
and decisions are coded remain important yet essentially unanswered questions. This is in …

Understanding the meanings of words and objects requires the activation of underlying
conceptual representations. Semantic representations are often assumed to be coded such …
