This line is what I am most concerned about.
The cells in question are located in the premotor cortex, a part of the brain involved in planning and executing movements, so the finding was not in itself particularly surprising.
If true, I'm screwed because I was planning on using action observation to relocate motor function areas that are dead. That's going to be damn hard since most of my pre-motor cortex looks like a black hole. Unless I can get the ipsilateral working.
Damnably depressing.
