From monkey mirror neurons to primate behaviours: possible 'direct' and 'indirect' pathways.

25 Aug 2009 The discovery of mirror neurons (MNs), deemed to be at the basis of action understanding, could constitute the potential solution to the 'correspondence problem' between one's own and others' action that is crucial for of imitative behaviours. ... Read more...

Socioecological correlates of facial mobility in nonhuman anthropoids.

29 Jun 2009 Facial mobility, or the variety of facial movements a species can produce, is likely influenced by selection for facial expression in diurnal anthropoids. The purpose of this study is to examine socioecological correlates of facial mobility ... Read more...

Video game for monkeys.

9 Jun 2009 Recent progress in neurophysiological recording has developed in two directions. One relies on multimicroelectrodes to study correlations in neuron firing. The other relies on sophisticated tasks to distinguish successive stages of neuronal ... Read more...
