Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mirror neurons were first discovered in the premotor cortex and the inferior parietal lobule of macaque monkeys, while studying their visual and motor activity during actions, such as grasping and holding objects. This area of the monkey brain is not typically associated with language processing or comprehension, which are functions primarily attributed to areas such as Broca's area, Wernicke's area, and the arcuate fasciculus. Therefore, the best choice for this question is A, Broca's area is not related to the discovery of mirror neurons.
