镜像神经元是近来国外认知神经科学研究的热点。通过一系列最新的技术检测,确立了人体内存在镜像神经元系统的观点。镜像神经元系统在语言进化、动作识别与理解、行为模仿等方面都起着重要的作用。运用该系统能够帮助脑卒中患者进行动作理解、新的复杂动作模仿以及动作内省,治疗其运动功能缺损。 Mirrored neurons have recently become a hot spot in foreign cognitive neuroscience research. Through a series of state-of-the-art technology tests, the concept of a mirrored neuron in the human body has been established. Mirror neuron system plays an important role in language evolution, recognition and understanding of movement, behavior imitation and so on. The system can help stroke patients understand the action, the new complex action simulation and action introspection, the treatment of motor impairment.
