Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mirror neuron system is responsible for imitation and is activated when we observe or perform a specific action, which allows the brain to simulate and understand the action. Other brain areas such as the prefrontal cortex and medial-temporal area may also be involved in imitation, but they do not play as direct of a role as the mirror neuron system. The HPA axis, which stands for hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, is involved in the body's stress response and is not directly related to imitation.
