The answer is Mirror. It is probable that mirror neurons are intricate in Sayuri's learning and imitation of this behavior. A mirror neuron or as called as the cubelli neuron is defined as a neuron that fires both when a person acts and when a person perceives the same action accomplished by another. Therefore, the neuron mirrors the behavior of the other as though the observer were the aforementioned actions.
