The only thing that separates us from others is skin: the mirror neurons

Abstract

According to studies resulting from the identification of human genome, it exists a coincidence of 99% in genes composing our species, that is to say, we are much more similar one another than we believe.
Another discovery, this time unintentionally, gave us as a result to know more about a special type of neurons: the mirror neurons, central theme of this article, which explores all regarding this very special type of neurons and its relation with the ability of human being for educate himself, learn and, of course, understand others in a more efficient way.
Interpersonal relationships are based on the ability to capture intentions and reasons for the behavior of others successfully. To achieve this, our neuronal circuits are working hard in the process to identify ourselves with others.
That is, when we interact, we are in very similar neuronal states, as we would be doing the same actions, getting the intention of the others or undergoing the same emotions. The present article basically analyses these aspects and another related to the mirror neurons importance in the human learning
