摘要: Abstract In the macaque monkey ventral premotor cortex (F5), “canonical neurones” are active when observes an object and grasps that object. same area, “mirror fire both another grasping We used event-related fMRI to investigate where in human brain activation can be found reflects canonical mirror neuronal activity. There was intraparietal limbs of precentral sulcus subjects observed objects they executed movements response (canonical neurones). dorsal cortex, parietal operculum (SII), superior temporal gestures (mirror Finally, activations inferior frontal gyrus (area 44) were imitated objects. suggest brain, limb may form part area designated F5 monkey. It is possible 44 forms anterior F5, though anatomical studies it a transitional between prefrontal cortices.
