The functional role of the parieto-frontal mirror circuit: interpretations and misinterpretations
- G. Rizzolatti, C. Sinigaglia
- Psychology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Neuroscience
- 1 April 2010
The parieto-frontal cortical circuit that is active during action observation is the circuit with mirror properties that has been most extensively studied. Yet, there remains controversy on its role… Expand
What is so special about embodied simulation?
- V. Gallese, C. Sinigaglia
- Psychology, Medicine
- Trends in Cognitive Sciences
- 1 November 2011
Simulation theories of social cognition abound in the literature, but it is often unclear what simulation means and how it works. The discovery of mirror neurons, responding both to action execution… Expand
Motor cognition and its role in the phylogeny and ontogeny of action understanding.

- Psychology, Medicine
- Developmental psychology
- 2009
Social life rests in large part on the capacity to understand the intentions behind the behavior of others. What are the origins of this capacity? How is one to construe its development in… Expand

The mirror mechanism: a basic principle of brain function
- G. Rizzolatti, C. Sinigaglia
- Psychology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Neuroscience
- 1 December 2016
The mirror mechanism is a basic brain mechanism that transforms sensory representations of others' behaviour into one's own motor or visceromotor representations concerning that behaviour. According… Expand
The bodily self as power for action
- V. Gallese, C. Sinigaglia
- Psychology, Medicine
- Neuropsychologia
- 1 February 2010
The aim of our paper is to show that there is a sense of body that is enactive in nature and that enables to capture the most primitive sense of self. We will argue that the body is primarily given… Expand
Looking Ahead: Anticipatory Gaze and Motor Ability in Infancy
- E. Ambrosini, V. Reddy, Annette de Looper, M. Costantini, B. López, C. Sinigaglia
- Psychology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 4 July 2013
The present study asks when infants are able to selectively anticipate the goals of observed actions, and how this ability relates to infants’ own abilities to produce those specific actions. Using… Expand
Intention and motor representation in purposive action
- S. Butterfill, C. Sinigaglia
- Psychology
- 2014
Are there distinct roles for intention and motor representation in explaining the purposiveness of action? Standard accounts of action assign a role to intention but are silent on motor… Expand
The space of affordances: A TMS study
- Pasquale Cardellicchio, C. Sinigaglia, M. Costantini
- Psychology, Medicine
- Neuropsychologia
- 1 April 2011
Previous studies have shown a motor recruitment during the observation of graspable objects. This recruitment has been considered crucial in encoding the observed objects in terms of one or more… Expand
Intention Understanding in Autism
- Sonia Boria, M. Fabbri-Destro, +5 authors G. Rizzolatti
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 18 May 2009
When we observe a motor act (e.g. grasping a cup) done by another individual, we extract, according to how the motor act is performed and its context, two types of information: the goal (grasping)… Expand
