“…In more recent research, numerous further issues about the human MNS have been explored, for example its lateralization (Aziz-Zadeh, Koski, Zaidel, Mazziotta, & Iacoboni, 2006;Mü hlau et al, 2005), inhibitory mechanisms (Alegre, Lazaro, Valencia, Iriarte, & Artieda, 2006;Brass, Derrfuss, & von Cramon, 2005), perspective effects (Jackson, Meltzoff, & Decety, 2006;Koski, Iacoboni, Dubeau, Woods, & Mazziotta, 2003), motor versus visuospatial representations (Chaminade, Meltzoff, & Decety, 2005), and the extent to which robot-like (Tai, Scherfler, Brooks, Sawamoto, & Castiello, 2004;but see Press, Bird, Flach, & Heyes, 2005) or biomechanically impossible displays (Costantini et al, 2005) elicit activations in the MNS. A further focus of current research is the conspicuous multifunctionality of the human inferior frontal gyrus beyond action recognition and imitation.…”
