• A Calm Look at the Most Hyped Concept in Neuroscience – Mirror Neurons – Wired Science

  “Last year I suggested that mirror neurons are the most hyped concept in neuroscience. Discovered in the 90s by neuroscientists in Italy studying monkeys, these are motor cells in the brain (involved in the control of movement) that are also activated – mirror-like – by the sight of the same movement by others. Thankfully a new review has just been published that provides us with a calm update on what we know so far about these fascinating cells.”
