Grasping the Intentions of Others with One's Own Mirror Neuron System
Understanding the intentions of others while watching their actions is a fundamental building block of social behavior. The neural and functional mechanisms underlying this ability are still poorly understood. To investigate these mechanisms we used functional magnetic resonance imaging. Twenty-three subjects watched three kinds of stimuli: grasping hand actions without a context, context only ...
متن کاملGetting a grip on other minds: mirror neurons, intention understanding, and cognitive empathy.
We have previously shown that a right inferior frontal mirror neuron area for grasping responds differently to observed grasping actions embedded in contexts that suggest different intentions, such as drinking and cleaning (Iacoboni, Molnar-Szakacs, Gallese, Buccino, Mazziotta, & Rizzolatti, 2005). Information about intentions, however, may be conveyed also by the grasping action itself: for in...

Recent studies have reported the discovery of a group of neurons in the motor cortex of the brain's gray. These neurons are called mirror neurons. Rizzolatti and colleagues in 1990s discovered the first mirror neuron system in monkeys in the University of Parma. Mirror neurons in brain are responsible for understanding the actions and intentions of others. The mirror neuron system has an import...
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 کاملThe body and objects represented in the ventral stream of the parieto-premotor network
The network between the parietal cortex and premotor cortex has a pivotal role in sensory-motor control. Grasping-related neurons in the anterior intraparietal area (AIP) and the ventral premotor cortex (F5) showed complementary properties each other. The object information for grasping is sent from the parietal cortex to the premotor cortex for sensory-motor transformation, and the backward si...
