Seonglae ChoA neuron that activates in the brain when observing someone perform an action or express an emotion, as if you were performing that action or feeling that emotion yourself. It 'mirrors' others' behaviors and serves as the foundation for imitation, empathy, and understanding others.
We naturally yawn when someone next to us yawns, or emotionally connect with characters in movies, demonstrating how we can naturally perceive and connect with others' emotions and intentions. This serves as a core element of social interaction.

Action recognition in the premotor cortex
Abstract. We recorded electrical activity from 532 neurons in the rostral part of inferior area 6 (area F5) of two macaque monkeys. Previous data had shown

The Mirror Neuron System
Mirror neurons are a class of neurons, originally discovered in the premotor cortex of monkeys, that discharge both when individuals perform a given motor act and when they observe others perform that same motor act. Ample evidence demonstrates the existence of a cortical network with the properties...
