"Las Neuronas Espejo (Mirror Neurons): Los mecanismos de la empatía emocional (The mechanisms of emotional empathy)" by Giacomo Rizzolatti and Corrado Sinigaglia explores the discovery, function, and implications of mirror neurons. These neurons activate both when an individual performs an action and when they observe someone else performing the same action, suggesting a neurological basis for understanding and empathizing with others. The book delves into how mirror neurons contribute to various aspects of human behavior, including empathy, language acquisition, and social interaction.
