The mirror neuron system. (2009, neutral): “The mirror system failed to be activated when the action belonged to another species (eg, barking).(19) Activation of the mirror system is also related to the observer’s motor experience of a given action.”
Mirror Neurons, Embodied Simulation, and the Neural Basis of Social Identification (2009, background): “The MNS in humans is directly involved in imitation of simple movements (Iacoboni et al., 1999), imitation learning of complex skills (Buccino et al., 2004a), in the perception of communicative actions (Buccino et al., 2004b), and in the detection of action intentions (Iacoboni et al., 2005).”
Neural and Computational Mechanisms of Action Processing: Interaction between Visual and Motor Representations. (2015, neutral): “In contrast, the observation of a dog that barks activates visual but not motor areas (Buccino et al., 2004).”
Neural mechanisms of understanding rational actions: middle temporal gyrus activation by contextual violation. (2011, background): “ville 2000), and the signals related to actions of the subjects’ own repertoire (Buccino et al. 2004; Calvo-Merino et al. 2006) may be further processed in the inferior parietal lobule, particularly for the chaining of motor acts into a more global action (Fogassi et al.”
The mirror neuron system and the consequences of its dysfunction (2006, background): “Furthermore, the human MNS is more active when the actions of other humans are observed, rather than those of monkeys or dog”
Action Representation of Sound: Audiomotor Recognition Network While Listening to Newly Acquired Actions (2007, background): “Fadiga L, Craighero L, Buccino G, Rizzolatti G (2002) Speech listening spe-”
The mind behind anthropomorphic thinking: attribution of mental states to other species (2015, background): “process when dealing with other species? It seems that they do so, not only with other animals (Buccino et al., 2004) but also with robots (Gazzola, Rizzolatti, Wicker, & Keysers, 2007; Kupferberg et al.”
The functional role of the parieto-frontal mirror circuit: interpretations and misinterpretations (2010, background): “Evidence for a non-mirror mechanism in action recognition was provided by an fMRI study in which volunteers were presented with video clips showing motor acts that did or did not belong to the human motor repertoir”
Exploring the neural correlates of goal-directed action and intention understanding (2011, neutral): “The mirror neuron system consists of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and inferior parietal lobule (IPL) and is active during both observation and performance of actions (for review, see Rizzolatti and Craighero, 2004), including mouth movements (Buccino et al., 2004), finger movements (e.”
Action anticipation and motor resonance in elite basketball players (2008, background): “Moreover, mirror motor activation is greater for 'familiar' than 'unfamiliar' action”
Brain basis of human social interaction: from concepts to brain imaging. (2009, background): “However, observation of speciesspecific communication actions trigger differences at brain level: viewing humans speak activated the premotor MNS areas, whereas viewing monkeys lip-smacking or dogs barking did not (16).”
Cross-talk between Language Processes and Overt Motor Behavior in the First 200 msec of Processing (2006, background): “Together with evidences from TMS and brain imaging studies (Buccino et al., 2005; Pulvermüller, 2005; Pulvermüller, Hauk, et al., 2005; Tettamanti et al., 2005; Hauk et al., 2004), our finding is thus suggestive of the assumption that language-related activity in cortical motor regions is part of…”
Neural reflections of meaning in gesture, language, and action (2009, methodology): “For the parietal cortex an ROI was constructed by averaging the local maxima of studies in which passive action observation was contrasted to a low level baseline (Grezes et al. 1999; Iacoboni et al. 1999; Buccino et al. 2001; Hamzei et al. 2003; Buccino et al. 2004; Costantini et al. 2005).”
Human parietal cortex in action. (2006, background): “Another study using fMRI involved subjects observing biting actions and communicative mouth gestures made by humans, monkeys or dogs [77].”
