Question

Neuroscientists speculate that newborn humans (and monkeys) are able to imitate others because networks of specific types of neurons are activated when an infant watches someone perform an action with this same network being used to perform that action. These specific types of neurons are called __________ neurons.

Answer 1

Answer: Mirror neurons

Step-by-step explanation:

Mirror neurons are neurons located in the brain and are activated when an individual performs an action or when an individual observes. It function both in human and monkeys. The individual simulate the action.

In human motor neuron are activated for both direct object and indirect object action. The brain are activated through observation and the extent through which they are activitated will determine how expert the individual will be with the action.

Just like the name mirror it copies the action from an individual and its involved in empathy,dancing and social behaviors.
