Mirror Neuron

Mirror neurons are active when a primate performs an action, but also when it observes that action. So far these neurons had been seen in Brocas and premotor cortical areas of the brain. See for example this (slightly hyperbolic) essay by Ramachandran on their potential importance in imitation and language http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/ramachandran/ramachandran_p1.html
