Action recognition in the premotor cortex
We recorded electrical activity from 532 neurons in the rostral part of inferior area 6 (area F5) of two macaque monkeys. Previous data had shown that neurons of this area disch...

Neurons of the rostral part of inferior premotor cortex of the monkey discharge during goal-directed hand movements such as grasping, holding, and tearing. We report here that m...
Motor facilitation during action observation: a magnetic stimulation study
1. We stimulated the motor cortex of normal subjects (transcranial magnetic stimulation) while they 1) observed an experimenter grasping 3D-objects, 2) looked at the same 3D-obj...
Action observation activates premotor and parietal areas in a somatotopic manner: an fMRI study
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to localize brain areas \nthat were active during the observation of actions made by another individual. \nObject- ...
Mirror neurons responding to the observation of ingestive and communicative mouth actions in the monkey ventral premotor cortex
Abstract In the ventral premotor cortex (area F5) of the monkey there are neurons that discharge both when the monkey performs specific motor actions and when it observes anothe...
From mirror neurons to imitation: Facts and speculations
This chapter is composed of two parts. In the first we review the functional properties of an intriguing class of premotor neurons that we discovered in the monkey premotor cort...
