“…At the observation stage, activation was observed in the middle frontal gyrus (BA6 and BA46), inferior frontal gyrus (BA9), precentral gyrus (BA4), inferior parietal lobule (BA40), cuneus, and bilateral middle occipital gyrus (BA18). For the imitation stage, there was a significant activation in brain areas known to be activated during hand motor imitation (Gatti et al., 2017; Koski et al., 2002; Leslie, Johnson‐Frey, & Grafton, 2004), such as the precentral gyrus (BA6 and BA44), postcentral gyrus (BA3), inferior parietal lobe (BA40), and medial frontal gyrus (BA6). Overall, action observation activated more vision‐related brain areas (occipital lobe), while action imitation activated more premotor areas (i.e., precentral gyrus and postcentral gyrus).…”
