Activation of Cerebellum, Basal Ganglia and Thalamus During Observation and Execution of Mouth, hand, and foot Actions
Humans and monkey studies showed that specific sectors of cerebellum and basal ganglia activate not only during execution but also during observation...

Deciphering Functional Connectivity Differences Between Motor Imagery and Execution of Target-Oriented Gras**
This study aimed to delineate overlap** and distinctive functional connectivity in visual motor imagery, kinesthetic motor imagery, and motor...

The Role of Cerebellum and Basal Ganglia Functional Connectivity in Altered Voluntary Movement Execution in Essential Tremor
Substantial evidence highlights the role of the cerebellum in the pathophysiology of tremor in essential tremor (ET), although its potential...

Action viewing and language in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder
The mirror neuron system consists of fronto-parietal regions and responds to both goal-directed action execution and observation. The broader action...
-
Action goals and the praxis network: an fMRI study
The praxis representation network (PRN) of the left cerebral hemisphere is typically linked to the control of functional interactions with familiar...
-
Investigating the sex-dependent effects of prefrontal cortex stimulation on response execution and inhibition
Context-dependent execution or inhibition of a response is an important aspect of executive control, which is impaired in neuropsychological and...
-
Neural Control of Action Selection Among Innate Behaviors
Nervous systems must not only generate specific adaptive behaviors, such as reproduction, aggression, feeding, and sleep, but also select a single...
-
Cortico-muscular coherence of time–frequency and spatial characteristics under movement observation, movement execution, and movement imagery
Studies show that movement observation (MO), movement imagery (MI), or movement execution (ME) based brain–computer interface systems are promising...

Post-stroke deficits in the anticipatory control and bimanual coordination during naturalistic cooperative bimanual action
BackgroundUnilateral stroke leads to asymmetric deficits in movement performance; yet its effects on naturalistic bimanual actions, a key aspect of...

Modulation of intracortical circuits in primary motor cortex during automatic action tendencies
Humans display automatic action tendencies toward emotional stimuli, showing faster automatic behavior (i.e., approaching a positive stimulus and...

More implicit and more explicit motor imagery tasks for exploring the mental representation of hands and feet in action
The mental representation of the body in action can be explored using motor imagery (MI) tasks. MI tasks can be allocated along a continuum going...
-
Independent inhibitory control mechanisms for aggressive motivation and action
Social behaviors often consist of a motivational phase followed by action. Here we show that neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus ventrolateral...
-
Implicit signatures of voluntary action reduce with repeated motor practice
The sense of controlling one’s actions and their consequences is a critical aspect of successful motor activity. While motor performance typically...

Invasive Recording of Local Field Potentials during Observation, Imagination, and Execution of Movements in Epilepsy Patients
The existence of neurons with “mirror” properties in humans was demonstrated in an invasive study in epilepsy patients only in 2010, after almost 15...
-
Secondary auditory cortex mediates a sensorimotor mechanism for action timing
The ability to accurately determine when to perform an action is a fundamental brain function and vital to adaptive behavior. The behavioral...

Methylphenidate decreases the EEG mu power in the right primary motor cortex in healthy adults during motor imagery and execution
This study investigated the effects of dopaminergic drugs on the EEG mu power during motor imagery, action observation, and execution. This is a...

Suppression of Motor Sequence Learning and Execution Through Anodal Cerebellar Transcranial Electrical Stimulation
Cerebellum (CB) and primary motor cortex (M1) have been associated with motor learning, with different putative roles. Modulation of task performance...

Operational encoding enhances action knowledge integration: insights from event-related potential analysis
In this study, we conducted an examination of knowledge integration concerning action information and assessed the impact of operational on this...

Left anterior supramarginal gyrus activity during tool use action observation after extensive tool use training
The advanced use of complex tools is considered a primary characteristic of human evolution and technological advancement. However, questions remain...

Influence of combined action observation and motor imagery of walking on lower limb reflex modulation in patients after stroke–preliminary results
ObjectiveThe combined use of action observation and motor imagery (AOMI) is a promising technique in neurorehabilitation that can be usefully applied...
