Mirror neurons fire demonstrates the ability of primates to empathize with another organism.
Mirror neurons are a class of neurons that modulate their activity both when an individual executes a specific motor act and when they observe the same or similar act performed by another individual.
Recent studies have shown that the mirror neurons have been hailed as a cornerstone of human empathy, language, and other vital processes.
These neurons are initially found as motor command neurons present in the frontal lobes of the brain and the prefrontal areas of the brain.
These are neurons which fire when a person moves and these are regular motor command neurons, orchestrating a sequence of muscles that allow the person to move something or do some other action.
A subset of these neurons also fire when that person simply watches another person move and do exactly the same action. So these neurons are performing a virtual reality simulation in the brain.
Another example of this is phantom limb.
