Advances in the Study of Mirror Neurons and Their Impact on Neuroscience: An Editorial

Abstract

The mirror neurons are complex neuronal circuits in the brain, and they respond to the actions that we observe in others. The mirror neurons constitute a revolutionary discovery in the field of neuroscience that has not only reshaped our understanding of social cognition and empathetic behavior but also bridged gaps in our comprehension of the human brain's intricate workings. This article aims to distill the crux of these groundbreaking discoveries and their transformative ramifications regarding our perception of human interactions and the advancement of neurorehabilitation techniques. The integration of non-invasive and patient-centric therapies into clinical practice underscores the immense potential that research on mirror neurons holds in enhancing patient outcomes and quality care. Research in mirror neurons will contribute significantly to the field of neuroscience, specifically neurorehabilitation.
