A highly original theory of how the mind-brain works, based on the author's study of single
neuronal cells. In I of the Vortex, Rodolfo Llinas, a founding father of modern brain science …

Understanding how the central nervous system codes behaviorally relevant information is

For years, the brain has been viewed as a relatively static entity, determined by the
interaction of genetic preprogramming and early childhood experience. In contrast to this …

All social relationships are dependent on an organism's ability to remember conspecifics.
Social memory may be a unique form of memory, critical for reproduction, territorial defense …

Imitation guides the behaviour of a range of species. Scientific advances in the study of

A “grandmother cell” is a hypothetical neuron that responds only to a highly complex,
specific, and meaningful stimulus, such as the image of one's grandmother. The term …

This chapter is composed of two parts. In the first we review the functional properties of an
intriguing class of premotor neurons that we discovered in the monkey premotor cortex: the …

From birth onwards, primates' cognitive development depends heavily on being able to
observe and interact with othcr individuals. How can individuals assign a meaning to the …
