Areas showing increased activation when watching the others' actions with the intention to learn component actions and their sequences. Direct statistical comparison between the Learn and the Perceptual Control conditions reveals bilateral increases throughout the parietofrontal mirror system including bilateral inferior frontal cortex (IFc) and inferior parietal cortex (IPL). Increases are also visible in areas of the sequence learning system including PMd, pre-SMA, basal ganglia [globus pallidus (GP)], cerebellum (Cr), and hippocampus (Hi). L, Left hemisphere; R, right hemisphere.
