The Mirror Neuron System [PDF]
Archives of Neurology, 2004 ▪ Abstract A category of stimuli of great importance for primates, humans in particular, is that formed by actions done by other individuals. If we want to survive, we must understand the actions of others. Furthermore, without action understanding, social organization is impossible.

Language comprehension warps the mirror neuron system [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Is the mirror neuron system (MNS) used in language understanding? According to embodied accounts of language comprehension, understanding sentences describing actions makes use of neural mechanisms of action control, including the MNS. Consequently, repeatedly comprehending sentences describing similar actions should induce adaptation of the MNS ...

Sensorimotor learning and the ontogeny of the mirror neuron system
Neuroscience Letters, 2013 Mirror neurons, which have now been found in the human and songbird as well as the macaque, respond to both the observation and the performance of the same action. It has been suggested that their matching response properties have evolved as an adaptation for action understanding; alternatively, these properties may arise through sensorimotor ...

Mirror Neuron Activity During Audiovisual Appreciation of Opera Performance
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Opera is a performing art in which music plays the leading role, and the acting of singers has a synergistic effect with the music. The mirror neuron system represents the neurophysiological mechanism underlying the coupling of perception and action ...

A CLINICAL APPROACH TO THE MIRROR NEURON SYSTEM AND ITS FUNCTIONS
İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2021 Mirror neurons were discovered in macaque monkeys in the early 1990s by Rizzolatti and his colleagues at the University of Parma. In studies investigating mirror neurons in humans, noninvasive methods of neuroimaging and electrophysiology have been used ...

Gender differences in the mu rhythm of the human mirror-neuron system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundPsychologically, females are usually thought to be superior in interpersonal sensitivity than males. The human mirror-neuron system is considered to provide the basic mechanism for social cognition.

The Mirror Neuron System [PDF]
The Neuroscientist, 2011 Mirror neurons are a class of visuomotor neurons in the monkey premotor and parietal cortices that discharge during the execution and observation of goal-directed motor acts. They are deemed to be at the basis of primates’ social abilities. In this review, the authors provide a fresh view about two still open questions about mirror neurons.

Neural correlates underpinning synchronized movement of double scull rowers
Scientific Reports, 2021 We investigated the neural correlates underpinning synchronized movement in rowers using a neural index for social interaction termed the phi complex. Phi 1 and phi 2 indicate the enhancement and reduction of mirror neuron activation, respectively.

Modulation of motor area activity by the outcome for a player during observation of a baseball game. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: Observing competitive games such as sports is a pervasive entertainment among humans. The inclination to watch others play may be based on our social-cognitive ability to understand the internal states of others.

Magnetoencephalography study of right parietal lobe dysfunction of the evoked mirror neuron system in antipsychotic-free schizophrenia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 INTRODUCTION: Patients with schizophrenia commonly exhibit deficits of non-verbal communication in social contexts, which may be related to cognitive dysfunction that impairs recognition of biological motion.
