Question

Mirror neurons are active when a person performs a behavior and when a person passively observes another person performing that behavior (Glenberg, 2011a). That's unusual, because neurons (brain cells) are specialized: While motor neurons don't respond to sensory information, and sensory neurons don't respond to motor information, mirror neurons appear to respond to both (Gallese & others, 2011). Their responsiveness to two different kinds of input makes mirror neurons fascinating. Still not convinced? Scientists have found that mirror neurons can put a person's brain in the same state as a person doing a task just by watching them do that task. Source: King, Laura A.
