Structure in Neural Activity during Observed and Executed Movements Is Shared at the Neural Population Level, Not in Single Neurons

Summary: In multiple cortical areas, including the motor cortex, neurons have similar firing rate statistics whether we observe or execute movements. These “congruent” neurons are hypothesized to support action understanding by participating in a neural circuit consistently activated in both observe...
