Hierarchical and Context-Dependent Encoding of Actions in Human Posterior Parietal and Motor Cortex

2025-11-11

Abstract excerpt

Action understanding requires internal models that link vision to motor goals. In monkeys, mirror neurons demonstrate motor resonance during observation, but single-unit evidence in humans is limited, leaving open whether such representations rely solely on motor resonance. We recorded neural activity from motor cortex (MC) and superior parietal lobule (SPL) in two tetraplegic participants implanted with Utah arra...
