在猴子中，腹侧前运动皮层（F5区）的吻侧部分包含神经元，当猴子抓住或操纵物体时，以及当它观察到实验者做出类似动作时，这些神经元都会放电。这些神经元（镜像神经元）似乎代表了一个系统，它将观察到的事件与内部产生的类似行为相匹配，并以这种方式在观察者和行为者之间形成了联系。经颅磁刺激和正电子发射断层扫描（PET）实验表明，手势识别的镜像系统也存在于人类中，包括布罗卡区。我们在这里建议，这样的观察/执行匹配系统提供了一个必要的桥梁，从“做”到“沟通”，演员和观察员之间的联系成为每个消息的发送者和接收者之间的联系。
In monkeys, the rostral part of ventral premotor cortex (area F5) contains neurons that discharge, both when the monkey grasps or manipulates objects and when it observes the experimenter making similar actions. These neurons (mirror neurons) appear to represent a system that matches observed events to similar, internally generated actions, and in this way forms a link between the observer and the actor. Transcranial magnetic stimulation and positron emission tomography (PET) experiments suggest that a mirror system for gesture recognition also exists in humans and includes Broca's area. We propose here that such an observation/execution matching system provides a necessary bridge from 'doing' to 'communicating', as the link between actor and observer becomes a link between the sender and the receiver of each message.
