Cerebral Projection of Mirrored Touch via sLORETA Imaging
Touch is one of the primary communication tools. Interestingly, the sensation of touch can also be experienced when observed in another person. Due to the system of mirror neurons, it is, in fact, being mapped on the somatosensory cortex of the observer.

Reversed Mirror Therapy (REMIT) after Stroke—A Proof-of-Concept Study
In mirror training (MIT), stroke patients strive to move their hands while looking at the reflected image of the unaffected one. The recruitment of the mirror neurons and visual-proprioceptive conflict are expected to facilitate the paretic voluntary ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Mechanistic study of network remodeling of swallowing function after stroke by multimodal mirror neuron intervention strategy [PDF]
Mirror neuron system (MNS) is a specialized group of neurons that can be activated both when an individual performs a specific action and when observing others perform similar actions.

As if: Connecting Phenomenology, Mirror Neurons, Empathy, and Laughter [PDF]
The discovery of mirror neurons in both primates and humans has led to an enormous amount of research and speculation as to how conscious beings are able to interact so effortlessly among one another.

Mirror neurons have been hailed as the key to understanding social cognition. I argue that three currents of thought-relating to evolution, atomism and telepathy-have magnified the perceived importance of mirror neurons. When they are understood to be a product of associative learning, rather than an adaptation for social cognition, mirror neurons are ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Mirror-touch synesthesia in schizophrenia, a pathological condition?
Introduction: The mirror-touch synesthesia is a condition where a touch perception in another person's body induces the person who is observed to feel being touched in the same way.

Integrating cognitive (neuro)science using mechanisms [PDF]
In this paper, an account of theoretical integration in cognitive (neuro)science from the mechanistic perspective is defended. It is argued that mechanistic patterns of integration can be better understood in terms of constraints on ...
