THE HOME OF EMPATHY. The Mirror Neuron System – V. Rajmohan and E. Mohandas.

The Mirror Neuron System (MNS) discovery is considered to be the most important landmark in neuroscience research during the last decade.

The Mirror neuron system is a group of specialized neurons that “mirrors” the actions and behaviour of others.

Theory of mind (ToM) or mentalisation is the ability to recognize that someone else has a mind different from one’s own.

The Mystery of the Mirror Neuron System 

here is a review paper i wrote about how to utilize the putative human mirror neuron system in stroke rehabilitation.

this was a most read article in neurorehabilitation & neural repair from 2010-2012.

my phd thesis was about how to use the putative human mirror neuron system to help people regain motor function after stroke.

by watching others move, brain regions that control our own voluntary movements are activated. this might help drive plasticity in motor circuits damaged by stroke.
