Action recognition in the premotor cortex.
TLDR
It is proposed that mirror neurons form a system for matching observation and execution of motor actions, similar to that of mirror neurons exists in humans and could be involved in recognition of actions as well as phonetic gestures.

Neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the understanding and imitation of action
TLDR
Evidence for the existence of a system, the 'mirror system', that seems to serve this mapping function in primates and humans is discussed, and its implications for the understanding and imitation of action are explored.

Parietal Lobe: From Action Organization to Intention Understanding
TLDR
Inferior parietal lobule neurons were studied when monkeys performed motor acts embedded in different actions and when they observed similar acts done by an experimenter to allow the observer to understand the agent's intentions.

Motor facilitation during action observation: a magnetic stimulation study.
TLDR
It is concluded that in humans there is a system matching action observation and execution that resembles the one recently described in the monkey.

Action observation activates premotor and parietal areas in a somatotopic manner: an fMRI study
TLDR
Results bring the previous concept of an action observation/execution matching system (mirror system) into a broader perspective: this system is not restricted to the ventral premotor cortex, but involves several somatotopically organized motor circuits.

Understanding motor events: a neurophysiological study
TLDR
It is reported here that many neurons of the rostral part of inferior premotor cortex of the monkey discharge during goal-directed hand movements such as grasping, holding, and tearing, which indicates that premotor neurons can retrieve movements not only on the basis of stimulus characteristics, but also on the based of the meaning of the observed actions.

Hearing Sounds, Understanding Actions: Action Representation in Mirror Neurons
TLDR
This work found neurons in monkey premotor cortex that discharge when the animal performs a specific action and when it hears the related sound, and this discovery in the monkey homolog of Broca's area might shed light on the origin of language.
