Mirroring mirror neurons in an interdisciplinary debate

Consciousness and Cognition, 2013
The current renewal of interest in empathy is closely connected to the recent neurobiological discovery of mirror neurons. We shall focus on one main psychological function it serves: enabling us to understand others' intentions.

Mirror neurons and their clinical relevance

Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, 2009
One of the most exciting events in neurosciences over the past few years has been the discovery of a mechanism that unifies action perception and action execution. The essence of this 'mirror' mechanism is as follows: whenever individuals observe an action being done by someone else, a set of neurons that code for that action is activated in the ...

Mirror Neurons and Mirror Systems in Monkeys and Humans

Physiology, 2008
Mirror neurons are a distinct class of neurons that transform specific sensory information into a motor format. Mirror neurons have been originally discovered in the premotor and parietal cortex of the monkey. Subsequent neurophysiological (TMS, EEG, MEG) and brain imaging studies have shown that a mirror mechanism is also present in humans.

What is mirrored by mirror neurons?

Poiesis & Praxis, 2008
Mirror neurons are a particular class of visumotorical neurons, originally discovered in area F5 of the monkey premotorical cortex. They discharge both (1) when the animal performs a specific action and (2) when it observes a similar action. Actually, it is often assumed that this unique functioning could explain different abilities ranging from ...

Mirror neurons

Nauchno-prakticheskii zhurnal «Patogenez», 2022
Представление о зеркальных нейронах было создано и разработано в начале 21 века группой итальянских врачей под руководством Джакомо Риззолатти. Так они стали называть нейроны, которые возбуждались не физическим движением, а наблюдением физического движения или даже размышлениями о движении.

From Mirror Writing to Mirror Neurons

2010
The article offers a personal perspective on Simulation of Animal Behavior, starting with the inspiration of Norbert Wiener's 1948 Cybernetics for the publication of Brains, Machines, and Mathematics in 1964. This led to a range of simulations of the brains and behaviors of frogs (Rana computatrix), rats, monkeys and humans.

The mirror neuron system: New frontiers

Social Neuroscience, 2008
Since the discovery of mirror neurons, much effort has been invested into studying their location and properties in the human brain. Here we review these original findings and introduce the main topics of this special issue of Social Neuroscience. What does the mirror system code?

More questions for mirror neurons

Consciousness and Cognition, 2013
The mirror neuron system is widely held to provide direct access to the motor goals of others. This paper critically investigates this idea, focusing on the so-called 'intentional worry'. I explore two answers to the intentional worry: first that the worry is premised on too limited an understanding of mirror neuron behaviour (Sections 2 and 3), second

Making sense of mirror neurons

Synthese, 2008
The discovery of mirror neurons has been hailed as one of the most exciting developments in neuroscience in the past few decades. These neurons discharge in response to the observation of others’ actions. But how are we to understand the function of these neurons? In this paper I defend the idea that mirror neurons are best conceived as components of a
