Plasticity of multisensory dorsal stream functions: Evidence from congenitally blind and sighted adults (2010, background): “Imaging studies in healthy participants also revealed reaching-related activation in the medial occipito-parietal areas and the medial intraparietal sulcus (Prado et al., 2005; Filimon et al., 2007).”
The functional role of the parieto-frontal mirror circuit: interpretations and misinterpretations (2010, background): “As for the superior parietal lobule, although its activation is typically absent in studies in which the experimenters use distal motor acts as visual stimuli, it is prominent when volunteers observe proximal arm movements that are directed to a particular location in spac”

Neural mechanisms of understanding rational actions: middle temporal gyrus activation by contextual violation. (2011, result): “This interpretation is consistent with studies by Filimon et al. (2007), showing that frontoparietal activations for observed reaching were more dorsal than activations typically reported for the observation of grasping.”
