subject of mirror neurons‚ which are neurons that fire when an animal acts or observes the same action done by another. We learned that these neurons exist primarily in the ventral premotor cortex F5 areas of a monkey’s brain. Experiments proved that neurons in the VPC F5 area fire when a monkey does an action‚ but also fire when a monkey watches a human do the same action. However‚ when the monkey watches the human just carry out the motions of the action‚ not actually do it‚ the neurons in this area
