In short, as those authors discuss, it is possible that what they observed is the activation of somatosensory components of mirror-neuron networks (e.g., Keysers et al. 2010).
The IP component of the mirror system is activated in a somatotopically organized fashion during (object-related) action observation and execution in monkeys and humans (Buccino et al. 2001, Fogassi et al. 2005, Fujii et al. 2007).
The STS, ventral premotor and IP regions are components of the "mirror system".
Listening to speech, in healthy controls, activated the ventral premotor cortex, STS and IP (predominately on the right); all regions shown to be components of the mirror system.
31 healthy individuals were randomized to receive single-sessions of true or sham HF-rTMS delivered to the left inferior frontal gyrus – a component of the human mirror system.
In this paper, we argue from an anatomical, physiological, modeling, and functional perspectives that one critical component of an 'extended' mirror neuron system is sensorimotor cortex.
Or, as others have stated the problem more succinctly: "Why don't we imitate all the time?" In this review, we argue from an anatomical, physiological, modeling, and functional perspectives that a critical component of the human mirror neuron system is sensorimotor cortex.
That is, sensorimotor transformations are a critical component of an extended mirroring system and necessary not only for computing the patterns of muscle activation and kinematics during action observation but for simulation and understanding.
By contrast, the reactivity of serum IgG antibodies with collagen-1 (a major extracellular matrix component of lung tissue) mirrored the findings for antibody binding to lung homogenates described above.
Electrolytic baths have been developed to obtain bright nickel rich nickel copper micrometric films with good mechanical properties and high reflectivity, valid as components of optical mirrors.
