Abstract

Twenty years ago, the researchers have discovered mirror neuron in macaque monkeys. These areas are area PF of the inferior parietal lobule and area F5 of the ventral premotor cortex. The continuous studies have examined the presence of mirror neurons in humans. These include the ventral premotor cortex, in the rostral inferior parietal lobe and particular Brodmann Area (BA) 6/44. This review focuses on the function of mirror neurons regarding action understanding, imitation, language, empathy, and mindreading. The future study on the mirror neuron system will have future clinical applications.

Key words: Mirror neuron, Discovery, Macaque monkey, Human
