Reversible inactivation of the mirror neuron system in non-human primates using pharmacogenetics: in search for a causal role of mirror neurons in social cognition. KU Leuven
Few discoveries in cognitive neurosciences over the last decades have had such an impact on the field as the discovery of mirror neurons. Initially discovered in a single premotor region in the monkey brain, research in the past 25 years have uncovered the existence of mirror neurons in numerous brain regions in different species (songbirds, monkeys and humans). While few people still doubt the existence of these neurons in the brain, the ...
