Functions of the Mirror Neuron System: Implications for Neurorehabilitation (Fragment)

Giovanni Buccino, MD, PhD,* Ana Solodkin, PhD,w and Steven L. Small, MD, PhDw Abstract Mirror neurons discharge during the execution of hand object-directed actions and during the observation of the same actions performed by other individuals. These neurons were first identified in the ventral premotor cortex (area F5) and later on in the inferior parietal …
