Effective connectivity of the mirror neuron system in nonhuman primates KU Leuven
The output of the mirror neurons in ventral premotor cortex (PMv) is currently unknown. Since anatomical tracer studies cannot distinguish between mirror sites and nonmirror sites, we have to manipulate mirror sites and nonmirror sites during fMRI. We want to address the following questions: - Do mirror neurons mostly project directly to mirror neurons in M1 (via F4) and to the spinal cord, and do nonmirror sites in PMv project to nonmirror ...
