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,

Effective connectivity of the human mirror neuron system during social cognition [PDF]
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci, 2022 The human mirror neuron system (MNS) can be considered the neural basis of social cognition. Identifying the global network structure of this system can provide significant progress in the field.

Multisensory and Sensorimotor Integration in the Embodied Self: Relationship between Self-Body Recognition and the Mirror Neuron System [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2022 The embodied self is rooted in the self-body in the “here and now”. The senses of self-ownership and self-agency have been proposed as the basis of the sense of embodied self, and many experimental studies have been conducted on this subject. This review

Effectiveness of Therapies Based on Mirror Neuron System to Treat Gait in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease—A Systematic Review [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2022 Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that alters gait patterns from early stages. The visuo-motor training strategies such as action observation (AO) and motor imagery (MI) that are based on the activity of the mirror neuron system ...

Effects of avatar shape and motion on mirror neuron system activity [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023 Humanness is an important characteristic for facilitating interpersonal communication, particularly through avatars in the metaverse. In this study, we explored the mirror neuron system (MNS) as a potential neural basis for perceiving humanness in ...

The Activation of the Mirror Neuron System during Action Observation and Action Execution with Mirror Visual Feedback in Stroke: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Neural Plast, 2018 Objective To evaluate the concurrent and training effects of action observation (AO) and action execution with mirror visual feedback (MVF) on the activation of the mirror neuron system (MNS) and its relationship with the activation of the motor cortex ...

Elevated mirror neuron system activity in bipolar mania: Evidence from a transcranial magnetic stimulation study [PDF]
Bipolar Disord, 2018 The role of the “mirror neuron system” (MNS) in the pathophysiology of mood disorders is not well studied. Given its posited role in the often‐impaired socio‐emotional processes like intention detection, empathy, and imitation, we compared putative MNS ...
