Evidence exists that the observation of actions activates the same cortical motor areas that
are involved in the performance of the observed actions. The neural substrate for this is the …

Motor imagery, the ‘mental rehearsal of motor acts without overt movements’, involves either
a visual representation (visual imagery, VI) or mental simulation of movement, associated …

Mirror neurons discharge during the execution of hand object-directed actions and during
the observation of the same actions performed by other individuals. These neurons were first …

Context Depression occurs in more than half of patients who have experienced a stroke.

Several familial dementing conditions with atypical features have been characterized, but
only rarely is the neuropathology dominated solely by neurofibrillary lesions. We present a …

High-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging of healthy volunteers was used to
study the functional anatomy of the human primary motor (M1) and somatosensory (S1) …

The cognitive effects of stress are profound, yet it is unknown if the consequences of concurrent
multiple stresses on learning and memory differ from those of a single stress of equal …
