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 ...

Enhancing motor brain activity improves memory for action language: A tDCS study
Vitale, Francesca; Padrón, Iván; Avenanti, Alessio; De Vega, Manuel (2021)The embodied cognition approach to linguistic meaning posits that action language understanding is grounded in sensory–motor systems. However, evidence that the human motor cortex is necessary for action language memory ...

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 ...

You are fired! Exclusion words induce corticospinal modulations associated with vicarious pain
Vitale, Francesca; Urrutia, Mabel; Avenanti, Alessio; De Vega, Manuel (2023)Self- and vicarious experience of physical pain induces inhibition of the motor cortex (M1). Experience of social rejections recruits the same neural network as physical pain; however, whether social pain modulates M1 ...
