Mirror Neurons
QUICK REFERENCE
A neuron that is activated when a person performs a certain action or has a certain experience and also when the person observes someone else performing the same action or having the same experience. Mirror neurons provide internal representations of other people's actions, intentions, and emotions, and were first discovered in the brains of macaque monkeys in the early 1990s at the University of Parma in Italy by the Ukrainian-born neurologist Giacomo Rizzolatti (born 1937) and several colleagues and the findings published in the journal Experimental Brain Research in 1992. In humans, brain imaging studies have suggested that mirror neurons responsive to observed bodily movements are located in the superior temporal sulcus and that others are present in the inferior gyrus of the parietal lobe and of the motor cortex. Mirror neurons that respond to emotions or pain being experienced by others have been found in the insula and cingulate gyrus. Mirror neurons provide direct and immediate understanding of actions and emotions and are believed to be implicated in social cognition, social learning, skill learning, language, empathy, and theory of mind. Dysfunctional mirror neurons may explain the primary symptoms of autism. See also mu wave. [So called because these neurons reflect in an individual's brain actions performed or emotions experienced by another]

mirror neuron
a type of cell in the brains of certain animals (including humans) that responds in the same way to a given action (e.g., grasping an object) whether the animal performs the action itself or sees another animal (not necessarily of the same species) perform the action. This phenomenon is known as mirror imaging. [named and described by 21st-century Russian-born Italian neurologist Giacomo Rizzolati]

Phantom pain

Phantom pain is pain that feels like it's coming from a body part that's no longer there. Doctors once believed this post-amputation phenomenon was a psychological problem, but experts now recognize that these real sensations originate in the spinal cord and brain.

Most people who've had a limb removed report that it sometimes feels as if the amputated limb is still there. This painless phenomenon, known as phantom limb sensation, isn't the same as phantom pain.

For some people, phantom pain gets better over time without treatment. For others, managing phantom pain can be challenging. You and your doctor can work together to treat phantom pain effectively with medication or other therapies.
