Zusammenfassung
Background: A common idea of brain organization states that visual input is processed separately within a ventral stream for object perception and recognition, and a dorsal stream for guiding actions towards visible objects (Milner and Goodale 1995). Within such a network structure, the role of the mirror neuron system (MNS), which is accepted to be relevant for context-dependent action recognition, is yet not clear. The pars opercularis (PO, BA44) of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) are considered as anatomical substrate of the human MNS. In this context, one of the implic…
