This study investigates whether action language modulates spinal motor pathways, finding no effect on high-threshold motoneurons during action reading, unlike motor imagery.

This study examines brain activity during motor imagery and low-frequency sound listening, finding variability in alpha and beta power responses but no additional modulation from combining the two tasks.

The paper investigates motor simulation deficits in aphantasia by comparing MEP responses during motor imagery and action observation between phantasics and aphantasics.

The paper investigates motor simulation during action reading in individuals with and without aphantasia, finding reduced corticospinal excitability and comprehension in aphantasics.

The paper investigates whether action language and motor imagery share motor representations through behavioral and neurophysiological experiments.

The paper investigates how sentence context affects corticospinal excitability during action verb processing, finding that rich context sharpens motor representations.

The paper investigates motor cortex activation during reading of affirmative and negative action sentences, finding similar corticospinal excitability for both but increased inhibition at later latencies, supporting a two-step model of negation.

The paper investigates neural dynamics during semantic processing of visual images and sentences, finding common patterns in EEG responses to sequential coherence.
