Premotor cortex and the recognition of motor actions.
TLDR
It is suggested that the development of the lateral verbal communication system in man derives from a more ancient communication system based on recognition of hand and face gestures.About:

The mirror-neuron system.
TL;DR: A neurophysiological mechanism appears to play a fundamental role in both action understanding and imitation, and those properties specific to the human mirror-neuron system that might explain the human capacity to learn by imitation are stressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Action recognition in the premotor cortex
TL;DR: It is proposed that mirror neurons form a system for matching observation and execution of motor actions, similar to that of mirror neurons exists in humans and could be involved in recognition of actions as well as phonetic gestures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Six views of embodied cognition.
TL;DR: The sixth claim has received the least attention in the literature on embodied cognition, but it may in fact be the best documented and most powerful of the six claims.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empathy: Its ultimate and proximate bases.
TL;DR: The Perception-Action Model (PAM), together with an understanding of how representations change with experience, can explain the major empirical effects in the literature and can also predict a variety of empathy disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mirror neuron system.
TL;DR: The mirror-neuron mechanism appears to play a fundamental role in both action understanding and imitation as mentioned in this paper, which is at the basis of human culture and ability to learn by imitation.

Understanding motor events-a neurophysiological study
TL;DR: It is reported here that many neurons of the rostral part of inferior premotor cortex of the monkey discharge during goal-directed hand movements such as grasping, holding, and tearing, which indicates that premotor neurons can retrieve movements not only on the basis of stimulus characteristics, but also on the based of the meaning of the observed actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale neurocognitive networks and distributed processing for attention, language, and memory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a model where complex behavior is mapped at the level of multifocal neural systems rather than specific anatomical sites, giving rise to brain-behavior relationships that are both localized and distributed.

Motor facilitation during action observation: a magnetic stimulation study
TL;DR: It is concluded that in humans there is a system matching action observation and execution that resembles the one recently described in the monkey.
