摘要：The mechanisms of knowledge have been for centuries a purely philosophic theme. Neuroscience, did not accept a position implicitly empiricist, but in recent years things have changed: the NeuroSciences have Developed a series of techniques to address problems have traditionally Been That of relevance of philosophy. The discoveries of neuroscientists have proved so important That even According to The Economist, 2006 was the year of mirror neurons. The author of the international scientific community That Is Considered a revolutionary discovery reach of the (Equal to That of the double helix of DNA) is Giacomo Rizzolatti Director of the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Parma. This type of cells, Discovered in monkeys, have dual properties: both are activated When the monkey performs an action and when to the monkey sees another individual to do the examination action. An action done by another activation induces, in the interior of Those observing the action of neurons That would work if he did That action, That of mirror neurons. In humans the system "mirror" was Demonstrated in an indirect manner. The system includes multiple brain areas, Including speech and action, as well as in understanding the actions, Including the ability to imitate, with skill That Belongs in the proper sense only to humans and higher primates Through the exploration of the properties of mirror neurons, Neuroscience has uncovered the neural mechanisms underlie That our individual and social behavior and the evolution of them
