Imitation, empathy, and mirror neurons. (2009, background): “In the other study, subjects listened to action sounds (Gazzola et al. 2006).”
Where do mirror neurons come from? (2010, background): “…broadly homologous with those where mirror neurons have been found in monkeys (Aziz-Zadeh et al., 2006; Buccino et al., 2004a; Jonas et al., 2007; Gazzola et al., 2006, 2007a,b; Grè zes et al., 2003; Iacoboni et al., 1999; Molnar-Szakacs et al., 2005; Shmuelof and Zohary, 2006; Vogt et al.,…”
ALE meta-analysis of action observation and imitation in the human brain (2010, positive): “Besides these findings on visual action processing, Gazzola et al. (2006) found a comparable somatotopical arrangement of activations in the premotor cortex for the processing of action sounds, indicating a topic arrangement of concepts rather than sensory representations.”
Empathy: A Social Cognitive Neuroscience Approach (2009, background): “There is also evidence for an auditory mirror neuron system, which is active both while performing an action and while listening to the sounds of a similar action ( Gazzola, Aziz-Zadeh, & Keysers, 2006 ).”
Exploring the neural correlates of goal-directed action and intention understanding (2011, positive): “Although there were some contrasts that resulted in activity in the IPL and IFG, the areas did not alignwith reported centroids of activation from prior research (Buccino et al., 2001; Gazzola et al., 2006; Iacoboni et al., 2005; Pierno et al., 2006).”
Mirroring others' emotions relates to empathy and interpersonal competence in children (2008, background): “…in the affective aspects of empathy, our results also add to an increasing body of evidence suggesting that the MNS may indeed be implicated in more than just action observation, mimicry, and emotional contagion (Gazzola et al., 2006; Kaplan and Iacoboni, 2006; Schulte-Ruther et al., 2007).”
The functional role of the parieto-frontal mirror circuit: interpretations and misinterpretations (2010, background): “Similarly, it was shown that listening to the sound of hand and mouth motor acts activated the parieto-frontal mirror networ”
Embodied Language: A Review of the Role of the Motor System in Language Comprehension (2008, background): “Recent PET (positron emission tomography) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) studies suggest that humans also possess a mirror system (e.g., Lamm, Fischer, & Decety, 2007; Koski et al., 2002) and that this system might be somatotopically organized (e.g., Aziz-Zadeh, Wilson, Rizzolatti,”
Shared Neural Circuits for Mentalizing about the Self and Others (2010, background): “, 2004), and action–perception mirroring (Gazzola & Keysers, 2009; Gazzola et al., 2006) is well established, Figure 2.”
The mirror neuron system and the consequences of its dysfunction (2006, result): “In line with the developmental data, recent fMRI data from adults also show a correlation between the activation of the MNS while listening to action sounds and empath”
