在猕猴的腹侧运动前皮层中，有神经元在执行手部动作和观察他人的相同动作时都放电（镜像神经元）。在目前的研究中，我们发现镜像神经元的一个子集在动作呈现期间变得活跃，并且当动作的最后部分被隐藏，因此只能推断，这对触发全视觉反应至关重要。这意味着，即使缺乏对动作的视觉描述，他人动作的运动表征也可以在观察者的运动前皮层内部产生。目前的研究结果支持镜像神经元激活可能是动作识别的基础的假设。
In the ventral premotor cortex of the macaque monkey, there are neurons that discharge both during the execution of hand actions and during the observation of the same actions made by others (mirror neurons). In the present study, we show that a subset of mirror neurons becomes active during action presentation and also when the final part of the action, crucial in triggering the response in full vision, is hidden and can therefore only be inferred. This implies that the motor representation of an action performed by others can be internally generated in the observer's premotor cortex, even when a visual description of the action is lacking. The present findings support the hypothesis that mirror neuron activation could be at the basis of action recognition.
