Error monitoring in the hemispheres: the effect of lateralized feedback on lexical decisionJ T Kaplan
Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095 1563, USA
Cognition 82:157-78. 2001..The results are interpreted as suggesting a right hemisphere superiority for error monitoring that depends on the mode of feedback...
The self across the senses: an fMRI study of self-face and self-voice recognitionJonas T Kaplan
Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center, Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 3:218-23. 2008..These data suggest that the right IFG is concerned with processing self-related stimuli across multiple sensory modalities and that it may contribute to an abstract self-representation...
Getting a grip on other minds: mirror neurons, intention understanding, and cognitive empathyJonas T Kaplan
Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA
Soc Neurosci 1:175-83. 2006..These data suggest that human mirror neuron areas use both contextual and grasping type information to predict the intentions of others. They also suggest that mirror neuron activity is strongly linked to social competence...
Multimodal action representation in human left ventral premotor cortexJonas T Kaplan
Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center, Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, Neuropsychiatric Institute, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Cogn Process 8:103-13. 2007..This function may be an important precursor of language functions...
Us versus them: Political attitudes and party affiliation influence neural response to faces of presidential candidatesJonas T Kaplan
Ahamnson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center, 660 Charles Young Drive South, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA
Neuropsychologia 45:55-64. 2007....
Left hemisphere motor facilitation in response to manual action soundsLisa Aziz-Zadeh
Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center, Neuropsychiatric Institute, UCLA, 660 Charles E Young Dr South, Los Angeles, CA90095 7085, USA
Eur J Neurosci 19:2609-12. 2004..This facilitation was exclusively lateralized to the left hemisphere, the dominant hemisphere for language. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that action coding may be a precursor of language...
Lateralization of the human mirror neuron systemLisa Aziz-Zadeh
Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center, Neuropsychiatric Institute, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90095, USA
J Neurosci 26:2964-70. 2006..The left hemisphere superiority for language, then, must be have been favored by other types of language precursors, perhaps auditory or multimodal action representations...
Understanding otherness: the neural bases of action comprehension and pain empathy in a congenital amputeeLisa Aziz-Zadeh
Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 2520, USA
Cereb Cortex 22:811-9. 2012..These results provide a novel understanding for how we understand and empathize with individuals who drastically differ from the self...
The influence of language on perception: listening to sentences about faces affects the perception of facesAyelet N Landau
Psychology Department, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720, USA
J Neurosci 30:15254-61. 2010..This interference may be a consequence of the natural statistics of language and vision given that linguistic content is generally uncorrelated with the contents of perception...
Interpersonal liking modulates motor-related neural regionsMona Sobhani
Neuroscience Graduate Program, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA
PLoS ONE 7:e46809. 2012..These findings lend further support for the notion that social factors such as interpersonal liking modulate perceptual processing in motor-related cortices...
"Aha!": The neural correlates of verbal insight solutionsLisa Aziz-Zadeh
Department of Occupational Sciences, Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089 2520, USA
Hum Brain Mapp 30:908-16. 2009..These areas are discussed with their possible role in evaluation and metacognition of insight solutions, as well as attention and monitoring during insight...
Hemispheric sensitivity to body stimuli in simple reaction timeLisa Aziz-Zadeh
Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 9005 7085, USA
Exp Brain Res 170:116-21. 2006..The results support an automatic and implicit processing of visual stimuli within motor representations even when no recognition of, or decision about, the stimulus is necessary...
Lateralization in motor facilitation during action observation: a TMS studyLisa Aziz-Zadeh
Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center, UCLA School of Medicine, 600 Charles E. Young Drive South, Los Angeles, CA 90005-7085, USA
Exp Brain Res 144:127-31. 2002..The pattern of this effect is congruent with the pattern of motor representation in each hemisphere...

Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA
PLoS ONE 5:e12611. 2010....

J Physiol Paris 102:35-9. 2008..In particular we address the representation of actions and concepts as well as literal and metaphorical phrases in the premotor cortex...
The human mirror neuron system and embodied representationsLisa Aziz-Zadeh
Brain and Creativity Institute, Department of Occupational Sciences, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA
Adv Exp Med Biol 629:355-76. 2009..Furthermore, we review functions of this system related to action comprehension and motor imagery, as well as evidence for speculations on the system's ties with conceptual knowledge and language...
