A self-organizing neural network architecture for learning human-object interactions (2017, background): “p 16] , and (iv) the identity of the objects is crucial for the undertanding of actions performed by other individuals [11,12] .”
Neural representation for the perception of the intentionality of actions. (2000, background): “For example, a cell responding during the execution of a grasping action may also respond to the sight of another monkey or the experimenter grasping an object but not to the sight of different actions such as picking (Di Pellegrino et al., 1992; Gallese, 1996; Rizzolatti et al., 1996).”
Functional links between motor and language systems (2005, background): “The premotor cortex is known to become active not only during motor tasks but also during action observation and listening to common action-related sounds (Gallese et al., 1996; Kohler et al., 2002).”
Listening to action-related sentences modulates the activity of the motor system: a combined TMS and behavioral study. (2005, background): “grasping, tearing, holding, biting, sucking) and when it observes another individual performing the same or a similar action [17,21,43].”
Building a motor simulation de novo: Observation of dance by dancers (2006, methodology): “Evidence for an action observation/execution matching system was first discovered in the ventral premotor cortex (area F5) of monkeys using single unit recordings, and from this work emerged a new class of neurons that have both visual and motor properties, named Fmirror neurons_ (Gallese et al., 19”
To Afford or Not to Afford: A New Formalization of Affordances Toward Affordance-Based Robot Control (2007, methodology): “These findings implied that same neurons were used both ways: for the execution of an action as output of the system, and also for perceiving that action as an input to the system [21].”
Two different streams form the dorsal visual system: anatomy and functions (2003, background): “Most of them also do not respond to the sight of a mimed action (Gallese et al. 1996; Rizzolatti et al. 1996).”
Brain basis of human social interaction: from concepts to brain imaging. (2009, background): “The “mirror neurons,” possibly responsible for such behavior, were first reported in the monkey frontal lobe, in the ventral premotor cortex area F5 (75, 197).”
The "Conscious" Dorsal Stream: Embodied Simulation and its Role in Space and Action Conscious Awareness (2007, background): “…neurons discharge not only when the monkey executes goal-related hand and/or mouth actions like grasping objects, but also when observing other individuals (monkeys or humans) executing similar actions (di Pellegrino et al. 1992; Gallese et al. 1996; Rizzolatti et al. 1996; Ferrari et al. 2003).”
Reduced functional connectivity between V1 and inferior frontal cortex associated with visuomotor performance in autism (2005, background): “Mirror neurons, which show increases in firing rate associated with internally generated action as well as with corresponding externally observed actions, have been identified in primate prefrontal cortex (area F5; Gallese et al., 1996; Rizzolatti et al., 1996).”
