Journal ArticleDOI
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)
John C. Mazziotta,Arthur W. Toga,Alan C. Evans,Peter T. Fox,Jack L. Lancaster,Karl Zilles,Roger P. Woods,Tomáš Paus,G. Simpson,B. Pike,Colin J. Holmes,Laura C. Collins,Paul M. Thompson,D.

Kawashima,Bernard Mazoyer +26 more
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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grasping the intentions of others with one's own mirror neuron system.
Marco Iacoboni,Istvan Molnar-Szakacs,Vittorio Gallese,Giovanni Buccino,John C. Mazziotta,Giacomo Rizzolatti +5 more
TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging revealed that premotor mirror neuron areas—areas active during the execution and the observation of an action—previously thought to be involved only in action recognition are actually also involved in understanding the intentions of others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding emotions in others: mirror neuron dysfunction in children with autism spectrum disorders
Mirella Dapretto,Mari S Davies,Jennifer H. Pfeifer,Ashley Scott,Marian Sigman,Susan Y. Bookheimer,Susan Y. Bookheimer,Marco Iacoboni,Marco Iacoboni +8 more
TL;DR: High-functioning children with autism and matched controls underwent fMRI while imitating and observing emotional expressions, suggesting that a dysfunctional 'mirror neuron system' may underlie the social deficits observed in autism.
