Perception and production of biological movement in patients with early periventricular brain lesions. (2003, background): “The initial ®nding of `mirror neurons' in the monkey premotor cortex that ®re during both observation and execution of actions (di Pellegrino et al., 1992) has been followed by neuroimaging studies in humans that revealed the similar or widely overlapping topography of brain activation during…”
What Do Mirror Neurons Contribute to Human Social Cognition (2008, background): “In order to account for the broad congruence between the perceptual and the motor properties of some MNs, Di Pellegrino et al. (1992) already introduced the concept of ‘ logically related MNs ’ .”
Agency, simulation and self-identification (2004, background): “Indeed, a dramatic illustration of what a shared representation can be is offered by the finding of mirror neurons (Di Pellegrino et al., 1992; Rizzolatti et al., 1995).”
Predictive coding: an account of the mirror neuron system (2007, background): “Mirror-neurons were first discovered in the premotor area, F5, of the macaque monkey (Di Pellegrino et al. 1992; Gallese et al. 1996; Rizzolatti et al. 2001; Umilta et al. 2001) and have been identified subsequently in an area of inferior parietal lobule, area PF (Gallese et al. 2002; Fogassi et…”
Activations related to "mirror" and "canonical" neurones in the human brain: an fMRI study (2003, background): “Only 20–30% of F5 premotor canonical neurones fire in response to visual stimuli in the absence of movements (Di Pellegrino et al., 1992), while about 50% of AIP visuomotor neurones respond during an object-fixation task (Murata et al., 2000).”
Eight Problems for the Mirror Neuron Theory of Action Understanding in Monkeys and Humans (2009, background): “Mirror neurons, which famously respond both when the monkey makes active movements and when it observes the experimenter making meaningful movements, were discovered in frontal area F5 of the macaque monkey (Macaca nemestrina) (Gallese et al., 1996; di Pellegrino et al., 1992).”
First things first: infants make good use of the sympathetic rhythm of imitation, without reason or language (2005, background): “The physiological activity of cell populations that are active just before an animal moves, and therefore part of the intention to move, had been a topic of interest for some years (Di Pelligrino et al., 1992; Rizzolatti et al., 2001).”
A visual analytics approach to understanding cycling behaviour (2012, neutral): “At the same time, music is not tied to environmental ‘reality’ in quite the same way as sound-design, so music is, in some ways, able to move more freely.”
Neural mechanisms for interacting with a world full of action choices. (2010, result): “Their hypothesis is consistent with the close relationship between mental imagery and the systems for motor preparation (Cisek & Kalaska 2004, di Pellegrino et al. 1992, Rizzolatti & Craighero 2004, Umilta et al. 2001) and potentially explains how an organism may go beyond merely reacting to…”
