Action Understanding Requires the Left Inferior Frontal Cortex
Numerous studies have established that inferior frontal cortex is active when hand actions are planned, imagined, remembered, imitated, and even observed. Furthermore, it has been proposed that these activations reflect a process of simulating the observed action to allow it to be understood and thus fully perceived. However, direct evidence for a perceptual role for left inferior frontal corte...
متن کاملUsing action understanding to understand the left inferior parietal cortex in the human brain.
Humans have a sophisticated knowledge of the actions that can be performed with objects. In an fMRI study we tried to establish whether this depends on areas that are homologous with the inferior parietal cortex (area PFG) in macaque monkeys. Cells have been described in area PFG that discharge differentially depending upon whether the observer sees an object being brought to the mouth or put i...
متن کاملSpeech Facilitation by Left Inferior Frontal Cortex Stimulation
Electrophysiological studies in humans and animals suggest that noninvasive neurostimulation methods such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can elicit long-lasting [1], polarity-dependent [2] changes in neocortical excitability. Application of tDCS can have significant and selective behavioral consequences that are associated with the cortical location of the stimulation electro...
متن کاملRight inferior frontal cortex: addressing the rebuttals
We recently provided an updated theory of the role of posterior ventral right inferior frontal cortex (hereafter rIFC) in inhibitory response control (Aron et al., 2014). We claimed that when rIFC is triggered by a stop signal, unexpected event or endogenous rule, it engages a brake; i.e., it slows, pauses, or completely stops an action via one or more rIFC-based fronto-basal-ganglia networks. ...
متن کاملLeft inferior frontal cortex and syntax: function, structure and behaviour in patients with left hemisphere damage
For the past 150 years, neurobiological models of language have debated the role of key brain regions in language function. One consistently debated set of issues concern the role of the left inferior frontal gyrus in syntactic processing. Here we combine measures of functional activity, grey matter integrity and performance in patients with left hemisphere damage and healthy participants to as...
