Embodied Language: A Review of the Role of the Motor System in Language Comprehension (2008, methodology): “Buccino et al. (2005) made this point when comparing the processing of sentences with the processing of pictures by means of brain activation in the mirror system.”
Toward a theory of semantic representation (2009, background): “For example, Buccino et al. (2005) found that the amplitude of motor evoked potentials in hand muscles were significantly smaller when listening to hand action sentences, and smaller for the foot muscles when listening to foot action sentences (see also Pulvemüller et al. 2005; Oliveri et al.…”

Language and action: creating sensible combinations of ideas (2007, methodology): “Chambers et al. (2004) used the concept of affordances to show the relation between action and grammatical parsing.”
Integrating experiential and distributional data to learn semantic representations. (2009, background): “…stimulation studies have provided converging evidence that lexical and sentential items with motor associations activate motor areas of the cortex (Buccino et al., 2005; Oliveri et al., 2004) and localized motor cortical areas corresponding to the specific effector of an action (Buccino et al.,…”
Brain mechanisms linking language and action (2005, background): “Listening to Italian sentences describing actions performed with the arm or leg differentially modulates the motor responses brought about by magnetic stimulation of the hand and leg motor corte”
The role of mirror neurons in speech perception and action word semantics (2010, background): “Using this approach, Buccino et al. (2005) found that listening to hand-related sentences modulated MEPs in hand muscles, whereas foot-related sentences modulated MEPs in foot muscles, thus providing evidence for somatotopically organised motor cortex activity during the processing of…”
Action Representation of Sound: Audiomotor Recognition Network While Listening to Newly Acquired Actions (2007, background): “Previous studies, however, have mostly focused on actions that we all learn from infancy and that are typically overexperienced, for example, hand clapping (Pizzamiglio et al., 2005), tongue clicking (Hauk et al., 2006), and speech (Fadiga et al., 2002; Wilson et al., 2004; Buccino et al., 2005).”

Cross-talk between Language Processes and Overt Motor Behavior in the First 200 msec of Processing (2006, methodology): “Buccino et al. (2005), for instance, demonstrated that listening to hand and leg action-related sentences reduced the amplitude of motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) recorded from hand and leg muscles, respectively.”
Grounded Cognition: Past, Present, and Future (2010, background): “Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation on higher cognition further implicate the causal role of grounding mechanisms (e.g., Buccino et al., 2005; Pulvermüller, Hauk, Nikulin, & Ilmoniemi, 2005).”
