Cortical Mechanisms of Human Imitation
Marco Iacoboni,Roger P. Woods,Marcel Brass,Harold Bekkering,John C. Mazziotta,Giacomo Rizzolatti +5 more
TL;DR: Two areas with activation properties that become active during finger movement, regardless of how it is evoked, and their activation should increase when the same movement is elicited by the observation of an identical movement made by another individual are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
A probabilistic atlas and reference system for the human brain: International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM)

TL;DR: The ability to quantify the variance of the human brain as a function of age in a large population of subjects for whom data is also available about their genetic composition and behaviour will allow for the first assessment of cerebral genotype-phenotype-behavioural correlations in humans to take place in a population this large.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid automated algorithm for aligning and reslicing PET images.
TL;DR: A computer algorithm for the three-dimensional alignment of PET images is described that relies on anatomic information in the images rather than on external fiducial markers and can be applied retrospectively, during acquisition, to reposition the scanner gantry and bed to match an earlier study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the significance of focal activations using their spatial extent
TL;DR: The results mean that detecting significant activations no longer depends on a fixed threshold, but can be effected at any (lower) threshold, in terms of the spatial extent of the activated region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural mechanisms of empathy in humans: A relay from neural systems for imitation to limbic areas
TL;DR: There was greater activity during imitation, compared with observation of emotions, in premotor areas including the inferior frontal cortex, as well as in the superior temporal cortex, insula, and amygdala, which may be a critical relay from action representation to emotion.
