  • Title: The mirror neuron system is more active during complementary compared with imitative action.
    Author: Newman-Norlund RD, van Schie HT, van Zuijlen AM, Bekkering H.
    Journal: Nat Neurosci; 2007 Jul; 10(7):817-8. PubMed ID: 17529986.
    Abstract:
    We assessed the role of the human mirror neuron system (MNS) in complementary actions using functional magnetic resonance imaging while participants prepared to execute imitative or complementary actions. The BOLD signal in the right inferior frontal gyrus and bilateral inferior parietal lobes was greater during preparation of complementary than during imitative actions, suggesting that the MNS may be essential in dynamically coupling action observation to action execution.
