Grasping the intentions of others with one's own mirror neuron system. by Marco Iacoboni, Istvan Molnar-Szakacs, Vittorio Gallese, Giovanni Buccino, John C Mazziotta, Giacomo Rizzolatti

“…Actions embedded in contexts, compared with the other two conditions, yielded a significant signal increase in the posterior part of the inferior frontal gyrus and the adjacent sector of the ventral premotor cortex where hand actions are represented. Thus, premotor mirror neuron areas-areas active during the execution and the observation of an action-previously thought to be involved only in action recognition are actually also involved in understanding the intentions of others. …”

The aberrant contribution of the mirror neuron system in autism spectrum disorder by Grant Shields

“…The mirror neuron system (MNS) is a recently discovered system, existing largely in the inferior frontal gyrus and inferior parietal lobe, which is activated when one either perceives or performs an action, and thought to be important for social interaction. …”

Mirror neuron brain regions contribute to identifying actions, but not intentions by Thompson, EL, Bird, G, Catmur, C

“…Previous studies have struggled to determine the relationship between mirror neuron brain regions and two distinct “action understanding” processes: identifying actions and identifying the intentions underlying those actions. …”

From Brentano to mirror neurons: bridging phenomenology and clinical neuroscience. by Fusar-Poli, P, Broome, M, Stanghellini, G

Cortical Motor Organization, Mirror Neurons, and Embodied Language: An Evolutionary Perspective by Leonardo Fogassi, Pier Francesco Ferrari

“…In particular, there is evidence that the matching mechanism based on mirror neurons can be involved in both pho-nological recognition and retrieval of meaning, especially for action word categories, thus suggesting a contribution of an action–perception mechanism to the automatic comprehension of semantics. …”

Mu suppression - a good measure of the human mirror neuron system? by Hobson, H, Bishop, D

“…Our conclusions are in contrast to those of a recent meta-analysis, which concluded that mu suppression is a valid means to examine mirror neuron activity. We argue that mu suppression can be used to index the human mirror neuron system, but the effect is weak and unreliable and easily confounded with alpha suppression.…”
