abstract = {Over the last decade, many neuroimaging studies have
assessed the human brain networks underlying action
observation and imitation using a variety of tasks and
paradigms. Nevertheless, questions concerning which areas
consistently contribute to these networks irrespective of
the particular experimental design and how such processing
may be lateralized remain unresolved. The current study
aimed at identifying cortical areas consistently involved in
action observation and imitation by combining activation
likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis with probabilistic
cytoarchitectonic maps. Meta-analysis of 139 functional
magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography
experiments revealed a bilateral network for both action
observation and imitation. Additional subanalyses for
different effectors within each network revealed highly
comparable activation patterns to the overall analyses on
observation and imitation, respectively, indicating an
independence of these findings from potential confounds.
Conjunction analysis of action observation and imitation
meta-analyses revealed a bilateral network within frontal
premotor, parietal, and temporo-occipital cortex. The most
consistently rostral inferior parietal area was PFt,
providing evidence for a possible homology of this region to
macaque area PF. The observation and imitation networks
differed particularly with respect to the involvement of
Broca's area: whereas both networks involved a caudo-dorsal
part of BA 44, activation during observation was most
consistent in a more rostro-dorsal location, i.e., dorsal BA
45, while activation during imitation was most consistent in
a more ventro-caudal aspect, i.e., caudal BA 44. The present
meta-analysis thus summarizes and amends previous
descriptions of the human brain networks related to action
observation and imitation.},
