  • The Role of the Superior Temporal Sulcus and the Mirror Neuron System in Imitation
    r Human Brain Mapping 31:1316–1326 (2010) r The Role of the Superior Temporal Sulcus and the Mirror Neuron System in Imitation Pascal Molenberghs,* Christopher Brander, Jason B. Mattingley, and Ross Cunnington The University of Queensland, Queensland Brain Institute & School of Psychology, St Lucia, Queensland, Australia r r Abstract: It has been suggested that in humans the mirror neuron system provides a neural substrate for imitation behaviour, but the relative contributions of different brain regions to the imitation of manual actions is still a matter of debate. To investigate the role of the mirror neuron system in imita- tion we used fMRI to examine patterns of neural activity under four different conditions: passive ob- servation of a pantomimed action (e.g., hammering a nail); (2) imitation of an observed action; (3) execution of an action in response to a word cue; and (4) self-selected execution of an action. A net- work of cortical areas, including the left supramarginal gyrus, left superior parietal lobule, left dorsal premotor area and bilateral superior temporal sulcus (STS), was significantly active across all four con- ditions. Crucially, within this network the STS bilaterally was the only region in which activity was significantly greater for action imitation than for the passive observation and execution conditions. We suggest that the role of the STS in imitation is not merely to passively register observed biological motion, but rather to actively represent visuomotor correspondences between one’s own actions and the actions of others.

How others’ appraisal is subjectively interpreted to change Published: xx xx xxxx state self-esteem is unknown, and the neural underpinnings of this process remain to be elucidated. We hypothesized that changes in state self-esteem are represented by the mentalizing network, which is modulated by interactions with regions involved in the subjective interpretation of others’ appraisal. To test this hypothesis, we conducted task-based and resting-state fMRI. Participants were repeatedly presented with their reputations, and then rated their pleasantness and reported their state self- esteem. To evaluate the individual sensitivity of the change in state self-esteem based on pleasantness (i.e., the subjective interpretation of reputation), we calculated evaluation sensitivity as the rate of change in state self-esteem per unit pleasantness. Evaluation sensitivity varied across participants, and was positively correlated with precuneus activity evoked by reputation rating. Resting-state fMRI revealed that evaluation sensitivity was positively correlated with functional connectivity of the precuneus with areas activated by negative reputation, but negatively correlated with areas activated by positive reputation. Thus, the precuneus, as the part of the mentalizing system, serves as a gateway for translating the subjective interpretation of reputation into state self-esteem.

  • A Causal Role of the Right Superior Temporal Sulcus in Emotion Recognition from Biological Motion
    A Causal Role of the Right Superior Temporal Sulcus in Emotion Recognition From Biological Motion 1 2 1 1 Rochelle A. Basil , Margaret L. Westwater ,MartinWiener , and James C. Thompson 1George Mason University 2Department of Psychiatry, Addenbrooke’s Hospital, University of Cambridge Keywords: biological motion, superior temporal sulcus, emotion recognition, transcranial magnetic stimulation Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/opmi/article-pdf/2/1/26/1868315/opmi_a_00015.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 an open access journal ABSTRACT Understanding the emotions of others through nonverbal cues is critical for successful social interactions. The right posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) is one brain region thought to be key in the recognition of the mental states of others based on body language and facial expression. In the present study, we temporarily disrupted functional activity of the right pSTS by using continuous, theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (cTBS) to test the hypothesis that the right pSTS plays a causal role in emotion recognition from body movements. Participants (N = 23) received cTBS to the right pSTS, which was individually localized using fMRI, and a vertex control site. Before and after cTBS, we tested participants’ ability to identify emotions from point-light displays (PLDs) of biological motion stimuli and a nonbiological global motion identification task. Results revealed that accurate identification of emotional states from biological motion was reduced following cTBS to the right pSTS, but accuracy was not impaired following vertex stimulation. Accuracy on the global motion task was unaffected by cTBS to either site. These results support the causal role of the right pSTS in decoding information about others’ emotional state from their body movements Citation: Basil, R.

Accumulating studies have demonstrated the crucial role of frontal and parietal areas in attention. However, the effect of posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) in attention is still unclear. To address this question, in this study, we measured transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-induced event-related potentials (ERPs) to determine the extent of involvement of the right pSTS in attentional processing. We hypothesized that TMS would enhance the activation of the right Edited by: pSTS during feature discrimination processing. We recruited 21 healthy subjects who Yuji Naya, performed the dual-feature delayed matching task while undergoing single-pulse sham Peking University, China or real TMS to the right pSTS 300 ms before the second stimulus onset. The results Reviewed by: Adam Steel, showed that the response time was reduced by real TMS of the pSTS as compared Dartmouth College, United States to sham stimulation. N270 amplitude was reduced during conflict processing, and the Masaki Takeda, time-varying network analysis revealed increased connectivity between the frontal lobe Kochi University of Technology, Japan and temporo-parietal and occipital regions.
