Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frontoparietal mirror neuron network is involved in understanding the intentions of others in terms of one's own sense of self, allowing for empathy and social cognition. It is not directly related to the ability to distinguish between animate and inanimate objects, seeing faces in non-living objects or the synchronization of neural activity between the left and right hemispheres.
