Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mirror neurons are neurons that fire not only when an individual performs a particular action, but also when the individual observes somebody else performing the same action or just thinks about performing the same action. They are believed to be important for social cognitions, empathy, and imitation. Supplementary motor neurons and premotor neurons are involved in motor planning and programming. Ballistic neurons are neurons that fire rapidly and repetitively, such as in the case of reflexes. Somatotopic neurons are neurons that are organized based on the location of the body they represent.
