A)axillary neurons.
B)synaptogenetic neurons.
C)reflexive neurons.
D)mirror neurons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The neurons described are mirror neurons, which fire both when performing an action and when observing someone else perform that same action. Option A is incorrect because axillary neurons do not exist. Option B is incorrect because synaptogenetic neurons are involved in the process of synapse formation, while the neurons described in the question are mirror neurons. Option C is incorrect because reflexive neurons do not have the same firing pattern as mirror neurons.
