Mirror neuron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mirror neuron is a neuron that fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another.[1][2] Thus, the neuron "mirrors" the behavior of the other, as though the observer were itself acting.

EVEN COOLER, HUH!!!! So, even if the person isn't ACTING mirroring, their neurons may be mirroring each other's activity....wow....
