Kindness is compassionate and often implicates actions to support or intervene.
Furthermore, at the neural level, several neuroimaging studies have revealed that brain regions involved in action simulation partially overlap with those implicated in action execution.
The action > visual contrast revealed large clusters in left hemisphere areas previously implicated in action processing and semantic cognition, including LIFG, premotor cortex, IPL and pMTG.
Cardiac two-pore-domain K+ (K2P) channels are implicated in action potential regulation, and their inhibition has been proposed as a novel antiarrhythmic strategy.
The basal ganglia are highly implicated in action selection and goal-directed behavior [1, 2, 3, 4], and the striatum in particular plays a critical role in arbitrating between competing choices [5, 6, 7, 8, 9].
Feature selection in difficult trials also recruited ventral occipital temporal areas, not implicated in action understanding.
Compared with a control condition, both tasks activated regions in left frontoparietal cortex previously implicated in action observation and execution.
There were no significant effects or interactions with task: therefore, although this site has been previously implicated in action understanding, it is also involved in executive semantic control, even when the task involves visual feature matching.
A previous study has implicated the action of translesion polymerases on late-replicating regions as a possible mechanism underlying the correlation between mutation rate and replication timing in mismatch repair proficient cells (Lang and Murray 2008).
Second, effective connectivity also increased to a region in the left posterior middle temporal gyrus that has previously been implicated in action observation and the visual representation of tools and artifacts (e.g., Chao et al. 1999, 2002; Malach et al. 2002; Tyler et al. 2003).
