Recent research using paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has shown that the speed with which people can stop an action is linked to GABAergic inhibitory activity in …
Human sensorimotor interaction requires mutual behavioral adaptation as well as shared cognitive task representations (Joint Action, JA). Yet, an under-investigated aspect of JA is …
The phasic cardiovascular activity influences the central nervous system through the systolic baroreceptor inputs, inducing widespread inhibitory effects on behavior. Through …
The term affordance refers to the property or quality of an object that indicates the ways in which it could potentially be used. Affordances elicit automatic motor representations that …
The observation of other's actions represents an essential element for the acquisition of motor skills. While action observation is known to induce changes in the excitability of the …
Abstract BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Action observation can sustain motor skill improvement. At the neurophysiological level, action observation affects the excitability of …
Ogni funzione espressa dal cervello si basa su una rete complessa e, nessuna funzione integrativa può emergere dal contributo di una singola area. Su questa base e al fine di …
The notion that action observation activates the human motor system opened the point of whether it can also promote neuroplasticity processes, in turn facilitating–or even only …
The observation of an action is able to trigger in the observer's motor system an activity similar to that evoked by the correspondent action execution. Such a capacity to transform …
