Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mirror neurons are a type of neuron that fires when an animal observes the behavior of another animal and that behavior stimulates imitative behavior in the first animal. This phenomenon has been observed in primates, including humans, and is believed to play a role in social learning and empathy. Interneurons are neurons that transmit signals between other neurons in the central nervous system. Catecholamines are a class of neurotransmitters that includes dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Motor neurons are neurons that transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, causing them to contract or secrete.
