Changing ideas about others’ intentions: updating prior expectations tunes activity in the human motor system
Predicting intentions from observing another agent's behaviours is often thought to depend on motor resonance - i.e., the motor system's response to a perceived movement by the activation of its stored motor counterpart, but observers might also rely on prior expectations, especially when actions take place in perceptually uncertain situations. Here we assessed motor resonance during an action ...
متن کاملChanging ideas about eukaryotic origins.
The origin of eukaryotic cells is one of the most fascinating challenges in biology, and has inspired decades of controversy and debate. Recent work has led to major upheavals in our understanding of eukaryotic origins and has catalysed new debates about the roles of endosymbiosis and gene flow across the tree of life. Improved methods of phylogenetic analysis support scenarios in which the hos...
متن کاملExtracellular peptidase activity tunes motor pattern modulation.
We are examining how extracellular peptidase activity sculpts the peptidergic actions of modulatory projection neurons on rhythmically active neuronal circuits, using the pyloric circuit in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of the crab Cancer borealis. Neurally released peptides can diffuse long distances to bind to their receptors. Hence, different neurons releasing the same neuropeptide into ...
متن کاملUnderstanding Others’ Intentions
When we act, we intend to reach a goal. Conversely, when we observe someone else act, we can often infer their intentions. Fogassi et al. (p. 662; see the Perspective by Nakahara and Miyashita) found that in the inferior parietal lobule of an individual about to begin an action, the goal of their action (e.g., grasping for food versus grasping a branch) is reflected in the discharge of the neur...
متن کاملObject Affordances Tune Observers' Prior Expectations about Tool-Use Behaviors
Learning about the function and use of tools through observation requires the ability to exploit one's own knowledge derived from past experience. It also depends on the detection of low-level local cues that are rooted in the tool's perceptual properties. Best known as 'affordances', these cues generate biomechanical priors that constrain the number of possible motor acts that are likely to be...
