A press release entitled “How mirror neurons allow us to learn and socialise by going through the motions in the head” from the European Science Foundation provided additional conceptual basis for the role of mirror neurons in the development of social behavior. I’ve covered a potential connection between Autism and mirror neurons several times in the past here on EBD Blog so, even though the ESF report is not expressly about EBD or Autism, I thought I ought to drop a quick note about its availability. Link to the ESF press release.

EBD Blog provides news and commentary about Emotional and Behavioral Disorders in children and youths. These problems have sometimes been called "emotional disturbance" or even "serious emotional disturbance." Whatever they are called, these problems are real, painful, and important. They often affect other people as well as having deleterious effects on school, social relations, and other aspects of the individuals' lives.
