Books in the Special Issues of Social Neuroscience series

Mirror neurons are premotor neurons, discovered in the macaque brain, that discharge both during execution of goal-directed actions and during the observation of similar actions executed by another individual. This work covers some of the most representative works on the mirror-neuron system to give a view on research and to stimulate experiments.

The articles in this special issue use a wide range of techniques and subject populations to address fundamental questions about the cognitive and neural structure of theory of mind.
