We review neuromodulation and lesion studies that address how activations in the mirror neuron system contribute to our perception of observed actions. Past reviews showed disruptions of this parieto-premotor network impair imitation and goal and kinematic processing. Recent studies bring five new themes. First, focal perturbations of a node of that circuit lead to changes across all nodes. Second, primary somatosensory cortex is an integral part of this network suggesting embodied representations are somatosensory-motor. Third, disturbing this network impairs the ability to predict the actions of others in the close (∼300ms) future. Fourth, disruptions impair our ability to coordinate our actions with others. Fifth, disrupting this network, the insula or cingulate also impairs emotion recognition.
我们回顾了神经调节和损伤研究，这些研究探讨了镜像神经元系统的激活如何有助于我们对观察到的动作的感知。过去的综述表明，这个顶叶-运动前网络的破坏会损害模仿和目标以及运动学处理。最近的研究带来了五个新的主题。第一，该回路的一个节点的焦点干扰会导致所有节点的变化。第二，初级体感皮层是该网络的一个组成部分，这表明体现的代表是体感运动的。第三，干扰这个网络会损害我们预测他人在不久的将来（约 300ms）的行为的能力。第四，破坏会损害我们与他人协调行动的能力。第五，破坏这个网络、脑岛或扣带也会损害情绪识别。
