The discovery of so-called mirror neurons a decade ago has fueled much discussion in neuroscience ever since. The original experiments identified neurons in monkeys that fire when an animal reaches out an arm or sees another animal make a similar movement. Brain-imaging studies have found analogous neural activity in the human brain in a variety of other contexts, prompting speculation that mirror neurons could have roles in perception, learning, and empathy (Science, 13 May 2005, p. 945).
