Motor Imagery in Mental Rotation: An fMRI Study (2002, background): “Cerebellar activation is frequently found during covert actions (Jeannerod, 2001).”
Neural correlates of action: Comparing meta‐analyses of imagery, observation, and execution (2018, positive): “T they identified consistent activations across studies in a subjective manner that did not include principled statistical tests (Grèzes and Decety, 2001; Jeannerod, 2001).”
Navigating the Affordance Landscape: Feedback Control as a Process Model of Behavior and Cognition. (2016, positive): “Consider, for example, motor simulation processes in action prediction [55] or – in a different context – hippocampal ‘replays’ of (time-compressed) spatial trajectories, which are implied in navigational planning and memory consolidation [56–58].”
Immersive VR and Education: Embodied Design Principles That Include Gesture and Hand Controls (2018, background): “This pre-action, covert state of imaging an action appears to stimulate the same collaries as the overt action i.e., motor cortex, the cerebellum, and basal ganglia (Jeannerod, 2001).”
Corporealized and Disembodied Minds: A Phenomenological View of the Body in Melancholia and Schizophrenia (2005, background): “…networks underlying preparation and monitoring of one’s own action (“intention-in-action”) and the networks responsible for the observation of another person’s action (Blakemore and Decety 2001; Chaminade et al. 2001; Chaminade, Meltzoff, and Decety 2002; Gallagher 2004; Jeannerod 2001).”
Conversion hystérique, hypnose et imagerie cérébrale (2010, positive): “This preserved activation of M1 during preparation is consistent with residual motor imagery despite paralysis (Jeannerod, 2001).”
The case for motor involvement in perceiving conspecifics. (2005, background): “Evidence is emerging in a variety of research domains to show that motoric resources serve a number of representational functions that do not involve the immediate execution of movement (cf. Jeannerod, 2001).”
Measuring motor imagery ability: A review (2008, background): “Jeannerod suggested that motor representations were involved in a variety of other cognitive activities besides action control (Jeannerod, 2001 ; Jeannerod & Frak, 1999 ).”
Motor imagery and action observation: modulation of sensorimotor brain rhythms during mental control of a brain-computer interface. (2009, background): “Motor imagery, described as the mental rehearsal of a motor act without overt movements by muscular activity, is assumed to involve to a large extent the same cortical areas that are activated during actual motor preparation and execution (Jeannerod, 2001).”
How Teachers Link Ideas in Mathematics Instruction Using Speech and Gesture: A Corpus Analysis (2014, background): “Moreover, neuroscientific studies suggest that when people observe actions, there is corresponding activation in premotor areas (see Jeannerod, 2001; Rizzolatti, Fogassi, & Gallese, 2001, for reviews).”
Motor imagery and action observation: cognitive tools for rehabilitation (2007, background): “Especially Galese (2005) (Gallese and Lakoff 2005, but see also Jeannerod 2001) stressed that motor imagery may be seen as the internal simulation of actions.”
Visible embodiment: Gestures as simulated action (2008, background): “Simulating actions involves activating neural areas that are involved in planning physical actions (Jeannerod, 2001).”
