Monkey in the Ventral Premotor Area F5 of the Macaque Functional Properties of Grasping-Related Neurons
متن کامل
Functional properties of grasping-related neurons in the ventral premotor area F5 of the macaque monkey.
We investigated the motor and visual properties of F5 grasping neurons, using a controlled paradigm that allows the study of the neuronal discharge during both observation and grasping of many different three-dimensional objects with and without visual guidance. All neurons displayed a preference for grasping of an object or a set of objects. The same preference was maintained when grasping was...
متن کاملView-Based Encoding of Actions in Mirror Neurons of Area F5 in Macaque Premotor Cortex
Converging experimental evidence indicates that mirror neurons in the monkey premotor area F5 encode the goals of observed motor acts [1-3]. However, it is unknown whether they also contribute to encoding the perspective from which the motor acts of others are seen. In order to address this issue, we recorded the visual responses of mirror neurons of monkey area F5 by using a novel experimental...
متن کاملDo monkey F5 mirror neurons show changes in firing rate during repeated observation of natural actions?
Mirror neurons were first discovered in area F5 of macaque monkeys. In humans, noninvasive studies have demonstrated an increased blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal in homologous motor areas during action observation. One approach to demonstrating that this indicates the existence of mirror neurons in humans has been to employ functional (f)MRI adaptation to test whether the same popula...
متن کاملMirror Neurons in Monkey Premotor Area F5 Show Tuning for Critical Features of Visual Causality Perception
Humans derive causality judgments reliably from highly abstract stimuli, such as moving discs that bump into each other [1]. This fascinating visual capability emerges gradually during human development [2], perhaps as consequence of sensorimotor experience [3]. Human functional imaging studies suggest an involvement of the "action observation network" in the processing of such stimuli [4, 5]. ...
