Violation of Expectation: Neural Correlates Reflect Bases of Prediction (2008, positive): “…sensorimotor (Wise, 1985), which have in recent years also been implicated in a much wider scope of cognitive processes (Chung, Han, Jeong, & Jack, 2005; Blackwood et al., 2004; Schubotz & von Cramon, 2003; Rizzolatti, Fogassi, & Gallese, 2002; Jordan, Heinze, Lutz, Kanowski, & Ja¨ncke, 2001).”
Development and neurophysiology of mentalizing. (2003, background): “Mirror neurons, situated in the ventral part of the lateral premotor cortex, might be involved in such a mechanism (Rizzolatti et al. 2002).”
Functional imaging of face and hand imitation: towards a motor theory of empathy (2004, background): “RR EC human homologue of monkey area F5 (Rizzolatti et al., 2002).”
Functional links between motor and language systems (2005, background): “2; Pulvermüller et al., 2001), whichmay includemirror neuronswith a role in both action and perception (Fadiga et al., 2002; Rizzolatti et al., 2002).”
Image schemata in the brain (2005, result): “However, over the past few years we have been able to paint just that kind of picture, given recent advances in brain imaging technology coupled with research findings by, e.g., Hauk et al. (2004); Coslett et al. (2002); Moore et al. (2000); Rizzolatti et al. (2002; 2001) and Rohrer (2001b).”
Three-dimensional locations and boundaries of motor and premotor cortices as defined by functional brain imaging: A meta-analysis (2006, background): “…the motor functions of Broca’s area has suggested that this region may be the human equivalent of monkey area F5 (Rizzolatti et al., 1998;Amunts et al., 1999) and that it could be considered part of PMv (Rizzolatti et al., 2002;Schubotz and von Cramon, 2003;Binkofski and Buccino, 2004).”
The case for motor involvement in perceiving conspecifics. (2005, background): “Various studies have shown that this rhythm is also blocked by merely observing human activity such as finger movement or leg movement (see Rizzolatti et al., 2002, for a review).”
Intrinsically motivated action-outcome learning and goal-based action recall: a system-level bio-constrained computational model. (2013, background): “…the motor control of different actuators, in particular the eyes (LIP in PC, and FEF in PFC; Snyder et al., 2000; Simon et al., 2002), the arms (PRR in PC, and PMCd; Wise et al., 1997; Simon et al., 2002), and the hands (anterior intraparietal area in PC, and inferior PMC; Rizzolatti et al., 2002).”
Modelling neural correlates of working memory: A coordinate-based meta-analysis (2011, neutral): “The human homologue of F2 seems to correspond to the dPMC, whereas the homologue of F4 seems to be located in human vPMC (Rizzolatti et al., 2002).”
The mind of expert motor performance is cool and focused (2007, background): “There are two reasons for combining these areas into one region: (1) LPMCv is more aligned with area 44 than with LPMCd from a cytoarchitectural viewpoint (Kotter et al., 2001; Petrides and Pandya, 1994; Rizzolatti et al., 2002), and (2) previous studies”
Touching a rubber hand: feeling of body ownership is associated with activity in multisensory brain areas (2005, background): “The ventral premotor cortex receives visual, tactile, and proprioceptive input (Graziano and Gross, 1998; Rizzolatti et al., 2002), and it is anatomically connected with higher-order somatosensory areas such as the secondary somatosensory cortex and the inferior parietal cortex (area 7b) (Godschalk ”
When the brain plays music: auditory–motor interactions in music perception and production (2007, background): “In the classic reach and grasp example, neurons in the vPMC represent sensory properties of the target: they match properties of the visual object with an appropriate motor gestur”
The neural bases of complex tool use in humans. (2004, background): “Activation of left inferior frontal cortex ‐ a region associated with visuomotor transformations for grasping and manipulating objects in both macaques [ 34 ] and humans [35] ‐ is observed during tool naming [25,36] and viewing [36], whereas a larger region including, left middle frontal gyrus (GFm)”
Dynamic causal modeling of cortical activity from the acute to the chronic stage after stroke (2011, positive): “The primary motor cortex (M1) is located on the rostral wall of the central sulcus and corresponds to Brodmann area (BA) 4 (Brodman, 1909) or area F1 in macaques (Rizzolatti et al., 2002).”
