Dissociating object directed and non-object directed action in the human mirror system; implications for theories of motor simulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mirror neurons are single cells found in macaque premotor and parietal cortices that are active during action execution and observation. In non-human primates, mirror neurons have only been found in relation to object-directed movements or communicative ...

From mirror neurons to joint actions [PDF]
Cognitive Systems Research, 2006 The discovery of mirror neurons has given rise to a number of interpretations of their functions together with speculations on their potential role in the evolution of specifically human capacities.

Studying the Behaviour of Model of Mirror Neuron System in Case of Autism [PDF]
International Journal of Science and Engineering, 2012 Several experiment done by the researchers conducted that autism is caused by the dysfunctional mirror neuron system and the dysfunctions of mirror neuron system is proportional to the symptom severity of autism.

Empathy, Simulation, and Neuroscience: A Phenomenological Case against Simulation-Theory [PDF]
Phenomenology and Mind, 2017 In recent years, some simulation theorists have claimed that the discovery of mirror neurons provides empirical support for the position that mind reading is, at some basic level, simulation. The purpose of this essay is to question that claim.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Just over 20 years ago, an Italian team reported findings on macaques showing the existence of a “surprising new class” of neurons in a particular region of the premotor cortex of the macaque brain (1). These neurons were active not only when the macaque performed an action—like grabbing an object—but also when the macaque watched the same action being

Affective mirror and anti-mirror neurons relate to prosocial help in rats
iScience, 2023 Summary: Although empathic emotion is closely related to prosocial behavior, neuronal substrate that accounts for empathy-associated prosocial action remains poorly understood. We recorded neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and insular cortex

The Mirror Neuron System [PDF]
Archives of Neurology, 2004 ▪ Abstract A category of stimuli of great importance for primates, humans in particular, is that formed by actions done by other individuals. If we want to survive, we must understand the actions of others. Furthermore, without action understanding, social organization is impossible.

Clinical applications and efficacy of mirror neuron function
Journal of Medical Science, 2023 Mirror therapy aims to restore the function of a disabled body part by using the function of mirror neurons in the brain and mimicking the physiological activity of a healthy body part. The existence of mirror neurons was first discovered in the monkey
