The mirror neuron system has dominated understanding of observational learning from a
cognitive neuroscience perspective. Our review highlights the value of observational …

Measurements of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs), recorded using
electroencephalography during different phases of movement, have been fundamental in …

This study tests for a function of the somatosensory cortex, that, in addition to its role in
processing somatic afferent information, somatosensory cortex contributes both to motor …

The presence of a network of areas in the parietal and premotor cortices, which are active
both during action execution and observation, suggests that we might understand the …

Key points We explored the large variability in motor skill acquisition‐related effects on the
primary and sensory cortices. Namely, we tested whether this variability depends on …

Background Acquiring new motor skills to learn complex movements and master the use of a
diverse range of instruments is fundamental for developing expertise in surgery. Although …

Cortical reorganization occurs immediately after peripheral nerve injury, and early
sensorimotor training is suggested during nerve regeneration. The effect of mirror therapy …

Action observation can facilitate the acquisition of novel motor skills; however, there is
considerable individual variability in the extent to which observation promotes motor …

Working memory (WM) supports temporary maintenance of task-relevant information. This
process is associated with persistent activity in the sensory cortex processing the information …

In the mature human brain, the neural processing related to different body parts is reflected
in patterns of functional connectivity, which is strongest between functional homologs in …
