Hierarchical and Context-Dependent Encoding of Actions in Human Posterior Parietal and Motor Cortex
SUMMARY: Action understanding requires internal models that link visual input to motor goals. In monkeys, mirror neurons have been proposed to support this process through motor resonance during observation, yet single-unit evidence in humans remains scarce. We recorded neural activity from motor cortex (MC) and superi...
