Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that there is overlap between the cortical regions activated by performing an action and by observing that action being performed in humans.

Answer: B
 Researchers have been able to directly record from mirror neurons in the cortex in humans, providing strong evidence for their existence in humans.

Answer: C and D are incorrect.
 Cortical regions associated with mirror neurons in humans are similar to those in monkeys, and researchers have been able to locate brain regions that contain mirror neurons. Therefore, choices C and D are not the best choices.
