Accepted 18 April 2007
Available online 24 April 2007
Electrophysiological data confirm the existence of neurons that respond to both motor and
sensory events in the macaque brain. These mirror neurons respond to execution and
observation of goal-orientated actions. It has been suggested that they comprise a neural
basis for encoding an internal representation of action. In this paper the evidence for a
parallel system in humans is reviewed and the implications for human theory of mind
processing are discussed. Different components of theory of mind are discussed; the
evidence for mirror activity within subtypes is addressed. While there is substantial
evidence for a humanmirror system, there are weaknesses in the attempts to localize such a
system in the brain. Preliminary evidence indicates that mirror neurons may be involved in
theory of mind; however, these data by their very nature are reliant on the presence, and
precise characterization, of the human mirror system.

of actions produced motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in the
muscles involved in that movement. This has since been
replicated (
Strafella and Paus, 2000
), and a temporal correlation
between the MEPs recorded and the action observed has also
been reported (
Gangitano et al., 2001
). Stimulation of the
median nerves during manipulation of an object results in
suppression of a post-stimulus rebound effect when recording
electrical oscillations from precentral motor cortex (
Salmelin
andHari, 1994
) usingMEG. This post-stimulus rebound event is
suppressed to a lesser extent in response to action observation
alone (
Hari et al., 1998
). These results are interpreted as
evidence for primary motor cortex activation in response to
action execution and observation.
Together these studies provide strong evidence for a human
mirror system in the central nervous system which appears to
originate from the motor system. The function that this system
encodes is the subject ofmuch discussion andwill be addressed
in later sections. Inorder to assess further the specific structures
of the brain that are involved in this system, a different range of
techniques with higher spatial acuity is required.
provide a link
between abstract concepts and single neuron activity (
Quiroga
et al., 2005
), and the demonstration of plasticity at the synaptic
level provided a mechanism by which information can be
encoded across time. One such advance is the discovery of
mirror neurons (MNs) in the premotor cortex of the macaque.
This finding and its application to understanding information
processing in the human brain will be the focus of this essay.
Mirror neurons respond to the execution of an action, and
to the observation of a conspecific carrying out that same
action (
di Pellegrino et al., 1992; Gallese et al., 1996; Rizzolatti
and Craighero, 2004; Rizzolatti et al., 1996a,b
).
First identified in the brain of macaque monkeys, these cells
have stimulated a wave of research by authors attempting to
identify the equivalent cells in the human brain. This section
will review critically the evidence for mirror neuron activity in
humans and discuss the potential role of mirror neurons in
human behavior. Thiswill include a full discussion of the role of
mirror neurons in theory of mind (for a more detailed summary
of mirror neurons in other aspects of brain function such as
language and imitation refer to
Rizzolatti and Craighero, 2004
).

2.2. Functional MRI and PET studies
—
where is the
human mirror system?
The evidence suggests that the human mirror system stems
from activity in the inferior parietal lobe, inferior frontal gyrus
(including Broca's area) and superior temporal sulcus (STS)
(
Rizzolatti and Craighero, 2004
). The majority of these studies
employ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This
technology provides information about regional cerebral blood
flow in the brain in response to a range of stimuli (blood
oxygen level dependent or BOLD effect). From this information
it is possible to localize neuronal activity to regions of the
brain; however, the neural basis of the BOLD response is far
from clear (
Logothetis, 2003
). Interestingly, the human mirror
system appears to overlap considerably with those from non-
human primate data; the mirror circuit proposed in the
macaque involves projections from the superior temporal
sulcus (
Jellema et al., 2000; Perrett et al., 1990
) to inferior
parietal lobe (PF) (
Gallese et al., 2002
) and ventral premotor
cortex (V5) (
di Pellegrino et al., 1992; Rizzolatti et al., 1996a,b
).
One of the earliest fMRI studies compared action observa-
tion, imitation and execution. They found that action execu-
tion and observation resulted in activity in left frontal
operculum (Broca's area) and right anterior parietal area.
Imitation resulted in additional activity in parietal operculum
(
Iacoboni et al., 1999
). The authors report increased activity
when the action was imitated which implies that the mirror
system may be involved in imitation (see Section 3.1). The
protocol used in this study involved a simple finger move-
ment. There is controversy as to the specific stimuli that will
target the human system. Mirror activity is only reported in
response to object- and goal-related actions and not mean-
ingless intransitive movements in the macaque (
Rizzolatti
and Craighero, 2004
). These data subsequently may not
actually reflect what we might call
2. Human mirror activity
2.1. Electrophysiological studies
—
do humans have amirror
system?
Sensory information received during observation of actions is
encoded in terms of a motor echo. This has been demonstrat-
ed by electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalogra-
phy (MEG) and single-cell recordings from human brains. The
only study to demonstrate mirror activity at a neuronal level
comes in the formof an investigation into nocioception: single
cell recordings from the anterior cingulate of patients undergo-
ing surgery demonstrate activity in response to both percep-
tion and observation of pain (
Hutchison et al., 1999
). Given that
opportunities to carry out such studies are rare, EEG provides a
more convenient alternative to invasive techniques.
Normal mu wave activity undergoes dysynchronization in
response to both action execution and observation (
Cohen-
Seat et al., 1954; Gastaut and Bert, 1954
) as is demonstrated by
placing electrodes placed on the scalp. A more sensitive form
of EEG has since confirmed these findings; Cochin et al. report
that observation and execution of finger movements resulted
in reduced power of alpha wave activity (7.5
. Cortical
excitability studies indicate that the MN system is sensitive to
all the movements that form an action, not just the action as a
whole (
Rizzolatti and Craighero, 2004
). However, it is not
possible to conclude on this in the absence of intracellular

subjects. They localized this decrease to motor and frontal

) demonstrated that observation

recordings in humans. These properties are distinct from
those seen in non-human primates and such differences may
explain why humans, but not macaques, have abilities such as
theory of mind or advanced imitation.
Grezes et al. (2003)
have also compared action observation
and execution using fMRI. They found that object-related
action observation and execution resulted in increased
activation in bilateral dorsal premotor cortex (PMC), intrapar-
ietal sulcus, superior temporal sulcus (STS) and right parietal
operculum (SII). This study employed the use of an abstract
object for the participants to grasp, which, while taking into
account the object-related nature of mirror neurons, may not
quite fulfil the criteria for goal-related. Furthermore,
Gallese
et al. (2004)
have proposed that the internal object represen-
tation may be influenced by one's experience or interaction
with it. The use of an abstract

3. How I know why you do what you do
which has no
clear associated action may influence the activity seen in the
brain. In addition to this, televized stimuli have been shown to
produce a diminished response in the macaque model (
Ferrari
et al., 2003; Keysers and Perrett, 2004
) in certain brain regions,
which this study also used. Thus this paradigmmay not have
targeted putative mirror neurons in an ideal manner. A final
and well-structured study investigated the role of context on
mirror activity by exposing participants to videos of two types
of mug grasping actions (
Iacoboni et al., 2005
). Unfortunately
however, they did not investigate action execution in this
study thus few conclusions can be made about mirror activity.
A positron emission tomography (PET) study reported that
action recognition was associated with increased activation in
the left superior temporal sulcus and caudal inferior frontal
gyrus (
Rizzolatti et al., 1996a,b
). They did not however contrast
grasp observation with grasp execution, which is the crucial
comparison that would highlight mirror activity. They con-
cluded that human action recognition is represented by a
pattern of activity in middle temporal gyrus, STS and left
inferior frontal gyrus including Broca's area. However, at no
point during their discussion or conclusions do the authors
discuss the relevance of their results in terms of humanmirror
activity. Of interest was the activation seen in Broca's area in
response to grasping observation, as this is an area previously
thought to be dedicated to language.
A final but important point to note is that the spatial
resolution of fMRI, which is higher than that achieved
through PET, is in the order of millimetres. As a result it
cannot be concluded that an increase in the BOLD response to
action execution and observation is conclusive evidence for
mirror neurons in the human brain. On the basis of current
electrophysiological and imaging data, we are not able to
speculate on individual neurons. Accordingly, we are limited
to discussing brain areas, as pointed out by Arbib (2005,
http://
www.interdisciplines.org/mirror/papers/4/2
). Whilst it is hard
to see why mirror neurons would exist in the macaque brain
and not the human brain, ultimately there is no direct
evidence of human mirror neurons that respond to action.
In summary, there appears to be substantial evidence for a
mirror system within the central and peripheral nervous
system. However, the evidence attempting to localize this
mirror network has some weaknesses; further confirmation
and characterization is required. The next question that begs
to be addressed is that of function. This comprises the focus
manipulandum
’
It has been suggested that mirror neurons or the human
equivalent may be involved in understanding the intentions of
others (
Gallese and Goldman, 1998
). One can instinctively see
how this might occur if components of one's own motor
system echo an observed action. In the world of neuropsy-
chology, this ability, unique to humans in its more developed
form, is known as theory of mind (ToM).
Theory of mind refers to two concepts: the knowledge that
other animals have mental states which may differ from our
own; and the ability to infer what these internal states may be.
Such states refer to beliefs, goals, intentions or emotions. This
term covers a range of skills which may or may not have
overlapping neural bases. The term theory of mind fails to
distinguish between these two concepts and subsequently
tends to imply that possession of a
or of other
minds in itself constitutes the ability to infer the states of
other minds. This is doubtfully the case; the knowledge that
other people or animals have internal states that differ from
our own is more likely a prerequisite for the discrete ability to
make correct inferences based on this knowledge. The
neuronal mechanisms by which we are able to manipulate
this knowledge are also likely to be distinct. In our case, this
manipulation may be one of motor simulation as it has been
suggested that mirror neurons may be involved in theory of
mind (
Gallese and Goldman, 1998
) and there is accumulating
evidence to substantiate this hypothesis.
There are at least three prominent ways in which the role of
mirror neurons in ToM processing can be assessed. Firstly it is
possible to compare brain areas involved in both ToM and mirror
activity. If ToM relied onmirror neuron activity, areas involved in
ToM might be expected to display mirror activity. Secondly,
studies could be designed to specifically tap into the role ofmirror
neurons inunderstanding the intention behind the action. A final
approach which would support this theory, would be to look at
mirror neuron activity in people with absent or abnormal theory
of mind capabilities. The evidence supporting these lines of
investigation will be assessed in the following sections.

’
3.1. Brain areas involved in ToM and mirror function
A network including medial prefrontal cortex (PFC), posterior
STS and temporal poles is thought to support theory of mind
processes (
Frith and Frith, 2003
). Investigations which have
contributed to these conclusions typically involve carrying out
tasks which require inferences to be made, whilst undergoing
fMRI or PET scans. Studies which aim to localize function are
subject to similar sorts of problems as is the task of localizing
mirror neuronactivity. These studieswill involve different brain
processes and regions as they employ a range of experimental
approaches. For example, some use written stories (
Fletcher
et al., 1995; Vogeley et al., 2001
) and others use comic strips
(
Brunet et al., 2000; Gallagher et al., 2000
) to target ToM
processing. This is an important discrepancy as the involve-
ment and/or requirement of language in ToM is debatable.

Previous work has indicated that temporal language proces-
sing areas are involved in ToM (
Baron-Cohen et al., 1999; Brunet
et al., 2000
). Other approaches indicate that language is not re-
quired for ToM. For example, children with specific language
impairments (
Perner et al., 1987
) and even severe aphasic
patients (
Varley and Siegal, 2000; Varley et al., 2001
) have been
reported to have normal ToM processing. This heavily implies
that language capacity is not an essential requirement for ToM.
Furthermore, language processing areas have also been impli-
cated strongly inmirror neuron studies. Area F5 in themacaque
is thought to be the non-human primate analogue of Broca's
area (
Petrides and Pandya, 1994
), an area where a number of
studies have reported mirror activity (
Grezes et al., 2003;
Iacoboni et al., 1999
).
Areas implicated in both theory of mind andmirror (
Table 1
)
include superior temporal sulcus (
Baron-Cohen et al., 1999
)and
parts of the frontal gyrus (
Fletcher et al., 1995; Iacoboni et al.,
2005; Rizzolatti et al., 1996a,b
) and temporoparietal junction
(
Williams et al., 2006
). These are extremely rough comparisons
and only provide a preliminary comparison to demonstrate that
an overlap is a possibility. Given the individual differences in
locations of brain structures and landmarks (
Amunts et al.,
2004
), firmconclusions in either direction cannot be drawn from
this extremely coarse comparison and further investigation is
required. It is important to note that the majority of the studies
which have investigated ToM have not differentiated between
different types. For instance, inferring the intentions of others
.
There is a clear distinction between mental simulation
of action, actual simulation of action and understanding
the intention behind an observed action. There are the-
ories which claim that ToM relies on mental simulation of
action (Simulation Theory, see
Gallese, 1998
); however, this
is yet to be confirmed. Nevertheless, the evidence supports
a role for the mirror system in the former two of these
abilities.
Thedirectmatchingtheoryofimitationassertsthat
observation of an action produces an internal motor repre-
sentation in the brain of the observer. The most compelling
evidence to date for the influence of mirror neurons in motor
memory comes from studies by
Stefan et al. (2005)
.Ina
previous study, this group demonstrated that motor practice
of bidirectional thumb movements influences the direction of
subsequent cortically TMS evoked thumb movements (
Clas-
sen et al., 1998
). In other words, if you practice moving the
thumb to the left any ensuing evoked movements are more
likely to be made to the left. These finding have been
replicated in other human (
Pascual-Leone et al., 1995
) and
animal studies (
Kleim et al., 1998
). More recently, Stephan
et al. (2005) have described how the mere observation of
thumb movements has the same effect on influencing the
direction of subsequent thumb movements. This provides
evidence that action observation influences the neural circuits
responsible for action execution in a positive rather than
inhibitory manner. Given that the mere observation of an
action can trigger an internal motor representation of the
same action, it is possible to see how mirror neurons may
contribute to imitation (
Jeannerod, 1994
).
Human imaging studies have demonstrated that left
inferior frontal and right superior parietal cortices are
activated in response to both imitation and observation
(
Iacoboni et al., 1999
). These data provide evidence to support
the direct matching hypothesis and indicate that mirror
neurons may be involved in the underlying mechanism.
Furthermore, PET studies have shown that observation of
actions with a view to later imitating the action activates
motor areas involved in generation of actions and planning
(
Decety et al., 1997
).
To conclude, according to simulation theory, we mentally
mimic actions that we observe allowing us to infer the internal
states of others such as their intentions. The evidence for
mirror activity in formulating an internal motor representa-
tion of an observed action in order to imitate thus corresponds
with a simulation theory of ToM. At first glance there appears
to be aminor correlation between some of the areas thought to
display mirror activity and those involved in theory of mind
processing. However, clear characterization of motor ToM and
further studies of mirror activity in these brain regions is
required before any conclusions can be drawn. A more fruitful

Functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission
tomography have been used to investigate which regions of the
brain are involved in theory of mind processing. A separate range of
authors report areas of the brain which demonstrate mirror
activity. Overlap between areas of the brain which are involved in
processing both would provide evidence for the role of mirror
neurons in theory of mind.
maywell involvemechanisms which differ from those involved
in inferring the beliefs of others.
The most famous test for ToM is one proposed by
Dennett
(1978)
: the false belief task is designed to test if one is able to
infer the beliefs of others when they are incongruent with
ones own beliefs. Whilst this is an elegant way to investigate
the question it was designed to answer, it is not ideal for
identifying regions of the brain involved in inferring inten-
tions of others, or

approach may be to target the mirror system and ToM
processing within the same experiment.
cortex (IFC), inferior parietal lobe (IPL) and STS (
Hadjikhani et al.,
2006
). These conclusions rely on the previouswork outlining the
location of the human mirror network being confirmed.
An additional group of people with attenuated or absent
ToM processing are healthy children. According to Piaget's
theory of development, until the ages between 6 and 11,
children are unaware that others have their ownmental states
that differ fromour own (
Piaget, 2001
). There is some debate as
to when ToM appears during normal development. Early
studies have indicated that ToM is absent in children below
the age of 4 years (
Perner et al., 1987; Wimmer and Perner,
1983
). Detailed study of children's use of language and more
simple tasks where false beliefs are embedded in a play tends
to imply that a level of ToM is present as young as 18 months
(
Frith and Frith, 2003
). Thus it would be of interest to
investigate how and when MN activity develops during this
period and how this may relate to the acquisition of ToM.
A final point: it is not understood how the properties of
MNs differ between the human and the macaque. The specific
properties of macaque mirror neurons do not appear fully to
support their involvement in understanding actions, but
macaques are not able to carry out such a task. Examples of
these points are highlighted by
Csibra (2005)
. In the macaque
model, not all MNs have motor properties (
Gallese et al., 1996;
Rizzolatti et al., 1996a,b
), some MNs respond to more than one
type of observed action and that this action may not be the
same as the executed action (see
Rizzolatti and Craighero,
2004
). Thus he stresses MN firing would be misleading if they
were solely responsible for interpreting the observed actions
of others (
http://www.interdisciplines.org/mirror/papers/4
)
.
Accordingly, if the human mirror system is involved in ToM,
the nature of the system is likely to have advanced or adapted
in some way from that of our common ancestor. For example,
it is possible that there is an interaction between MNs and
other information in the brain which allows humans to make
these inferences, such as language or memory. The nature of
these changes is not currently understood.
To summarize, data from a variety of fields supports the
suggestion that the mirror system may contribute to under-
standing the behavior of others. In the absence of direct
evidence, this hypothesis needs to be addressed from a
number of stances. Studies which directly target the mirror
system and ToM processing are needed. There are a range of
human groups in which the mirror system can and should be
investigated. Such exploration would help to illustrate the
contribution of the mirror system to mental simulation of
action, imitation and ToM. We have yet to characterize fully
the mirror system in human ontogenesis and phylogenesis.
Such an approach will no doubt provide valuable insights into
how the macaque and human brain functions differ.
3.2. Targeting areas involved in understanding action
intention
If mirror neurons were involved in inferring intentions from
actions, they would be expected to fire in situations when the
intention was not known and thus has to be inferred.
Umilta
et al. (2001)
recorded from mirror neurons in macaque F5 and
demonstrated that a subset of these mirror neurons fired in
response to the action even when the completion of the action
was hidden from view. Thus the mirror system appears to be
encoding the inference of the intention behind the action. This
carefully designed study comprises a paradigm which targets
both the mirror system and ToM processing in the same time
period. Consequently, this has provided the strongest piece of
evidence for the role of mirror neurons in theory of mind so
far.
Iacoboni et al. (2005)
took the next step and focused in on
context within an action in order to elucidate the brain areas
involved in inferring an intention. They found that actions
within a context specifically result in activity in inferior frontal
gyrus and ventral PMC, areas which reportedly demonstrate
mirror activity. The authors interpret this as evidence for the
role of a subset of mirror neurons in extracting information
about action intention from environmental contextual clues.
Together these two studies provide powerful evidence for
the role of the human mirror system in understanding the
actions of others, both in the macaque and human brain. How
this ability differs between the two models remains to be seen.
In order to assess the impact this has on understanding the
behavior of others it is necessary to look to people who have
attenuated theory of mind and/or mirror systems.
3.3. Mirror activity in people with absent or attenuated
ToM
Some patients who suffer from abnormal ToM processing also
have attenuatedmirror responses. Initial studies have focused
on the classical conditionof abnormal ToMprocessing: autism.
The last few years have seen a cluster of studies indicating
abnormal mirror activity is present in autism (
Dapretto et al.,
2006; Ramachandran, 2001; Williams et al., 2006, 2001
). It has
been suggested that mu-wave activity may be an indirect
measure of mirror neuron activity (
Muthukumaraswamy et al.,
2004
).
Oberman et al. (2005)
report that the normal mu
suppression that is seen during action execution is reduced
in people with autistic spectrum disorder.
Theoret et al. (2005)
report that modulation of activity in primary motor cortex (MI)
of patients with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is reduced
with respect to controls during finger movements. Again
however, we must note that these studies have not used
object-related goal-directed movement and thus may not
reflect the mirror activity. This is not to deny that there may
be additional motor abnormalities in these patients.
Theremay be preliminary structural evidence to support the
claim that MNs are involved in autism. A recent article
suggested that there is cortical thinning in areas reported to
show mirror activity in autism, namely the inferior frontal
