Neural activation differences in amputees during imitation of intact versus amputee movements

Neural activation differences in amputees during imitation of intact versus amputee movements

The mirror neuron system has been attributed with increased activation in motor-related cortical areas upon viewing of another’s actions. Recent work suggests that limb movements that are similar and dissimilar in appearance to that of the viewer equivalently activate the mirror neuron system. It is...
