| Have you ever put your face in front of a baby and the baby mimicked your expressions? | “It’s an example of our built-in, wired-into-the-brain capacity for imitation." Figure 1. |
| "The front of the brain contains an area called the premotor cortex. The premotor cortex makes plans to move.” Figure 2. | Watching other people's actions can cause specific neurons to fire as though you were performing the action yourself. These neurons are called Mirror Neurons. |
| Mirror neurons - are a subset of neurons that fire both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another. Figure 3. | “Mirror Neurons are the starting point of empathy.” They are the way we empathize with others. |
