A comparative fMRI study by Peeters et al. (2009) provided evidence that a specific sector of left inferior parietal lobule is devoted to tool use in humans, but not in monkeys. We propose that this area represents the neural substrate of the human capacity to understand tool use by using causal reasoning.
皮特斯等人(2009 年)进行的一项比较 fMRI 研究提供了证据,表明人类左顶下小叶的一个特定区域专门用于工具使用,但猴子没有。我们提出,该区域代表了人类使用因果推理理解工具使用能力的神经基础。
