Blocking facial mimicry affects recognition of facial and body expressions
Borgomaneri, Sara; Bolloni, Corinna; Sessa, Paola; Avenanti, Alessio (2020)Facial mimicry is commonly defined as the tendency to imitate—at a sub-threshold level—facial expressions of other individuals. Numerous studies support a role of facial mimicry in recognizing others’ emotions. However, ...

Driving associative plasticity in premotor-motor connections through a novel paired associative stimulation based on long-latency cortico-cortical interactions
Chiappini, Emilio; Borgomaneri, Sara; Marangon, Mattia; Turrini, Sonia; Romei, Vincenzo; Avenanti, Alessio (2020) -
Early motor reactivity to observed human body postures is affected by body expression, not gender
Borgomaneri, Sara; Vitale, Francesca; Avenanti, Alessio (2020)The early response to emotional stimuli involves a transient suppression of motor reactivity to favor monitoring of emotionally relevant information. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we have previously shown ...

Early right motor cortex response to happy and fearful facial expressions: a TMS motor-evoked potential study
Borgomaneri, Sara; Vitale, Francesca; Battaglia, Simone; Avenanti, Alessio (2021)The ability to rapidly process others’ emotional signals is crucial for adaptive social interactions. However, to date it is still unclear how observing emotional facial expressions affects the reactivity of the human motor ...

State-dependent TMS of inferior frontal and parietal cortices highlights integration of grip configuration and functional goals during action recognition
Decroix, Jérémy; Borgomaneri, Sara; Kalénine, Solène; Avenanti, Alessio (2020)Understanding the object-directed actions of conspecifics not only implies recognition of the object (e.g., a pen) and processing of the motor components (e.g., grip configuration), but also identification of the functional ...

State-dependent tms over prefrontal cortex disrupts fear-memory reconsolidation and prevents the return of fear
Borgomaneri, Sara; Battaglia, Simone; Garofalo, Sara; Tortora, Francesco; Avenanti, Alessio; di Pellegrino, Giuseppe (2020)Erasing maladaptive memories has been a challenge for years. A way to change fear memories is to target the process of reconsolidation, during which a retrieved memory transiently returns to a labile state, amenable to ...

Task-related modulation of motor response to emotional bodies: A TMS motor-evoked potential study
Borgomaneri, Sara; Vitale, Francesca; Battaglia, Simone; De Vega, Manuel; Avenanti, Alessio (2024)Exposure to emotional body postures during perceptual decision-making tasks has been linked to transient suppression of motor reactivity, supporting the monitoring of emotionally relevant information. However, it remains ...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation over the human medial posterior parietal cortex disrupts depth encoding during reach planning
Breveglieri, Rossella; Bosco, Annalisa; Borgomaneri, Sara; Tessari, Alessia; Galletti, Claudio; Avenanti, Alessio; Fattori, Patrizia (2021)Accumulating evidence supports the view that the medial part of the posterior parietal cortex (mPPC) is involved in the planning of reaching, but while plenty of studies investigated reaching performed toward different ...
