University of California and International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley, California, USA
Soc Neurosci 3:229-38. 2008..Furthermore, our data indicate that this semantic-based modulation is restricted to the left hemisphere.

Dipartimento di Neuroscienze, Universita di Parma, Via Volturno, 39 E, I 43100 Parma, Italy
Curr Biol 16:1818-23. 2006..These results suggest a key role of mirror neuron areas in the re-enactment of sensory-motor representations during conceptual processing of actions invoked by linguistic stimuli... - 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... - Covert speech arrest induced by rTMS over both motor and nonmotor left hemisphere frontal sitesLisa Aziz-Zadeh
Universita di Parma, Italy
J Cogn Neurosci 17:928-38. 2005..Furthermore, both the left posterior/motor site and the left anterior/IFG site appear to be essential to language elaboration even when motor output is not required... - 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... - Familiarity modulates mirror neuron and mentalizing regions during intention understandingSook Lei Liew

Hum Brain Mapp 32:1986-97. 2011.... - 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...

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...- Default network deactivations are correlated with psychopathic personality traitsTong Sheng
Brain and Creativity Institute, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA
PLoS ONE 5:e12611. 2010.... - Interpersonal liking modulates motor-related neural regionsMona Sobhani
