Our understanding of the functions of motor system evolved remarkably in the last 20 years.
This is the consequence not only of an increase in the amount of data on this system but …

What are the neural bases of action understanding? Although this capacity could merely
involve visual analysis of the action, it has been argued that we actually map this visual …

The cortical motor system of primates is formed by a mosaic of anatomically and functionally
distinct areas. These areas are not only involved in motor functions, but also play a role in …

Recent functional brain imaging studies suggest that object concepts may be represented, in
part, by distributed networks of discrete cortical regions that parallel the organization of …

The thalamus is a critical component of the frontal cortical-basal ganglia–thalamic circuits
that mediate motivation and emotional drive, planning and cognition for the development …

The behaviors involved in complex human tool use cut across boundaries traditionally
drawn between social, cognitive, perceptual and motor processes. Longstanding …

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 …

In most brain computer interface (BCI) systems, some target users have significant difficulty
in using BCI systems. Such target users are called 'BCI-illiterate'. This phenomenon has …

The dorsal and ventral premotor areas, together with the primary motor cortex, are believed
to have major roles in preparing and executing limb movements. Recent studies have …

The neural bases of shifting attention and directing gaze were investigated in macaque
monkeys performing a singleton search that required a prosaccade, antisaccade, or no …
