    I am looking for the reference or the author of the study in which they examined the mirror neurons. I googled this and got your website. Specifically, i have included this research and the concept of the Dalia Llama cells in a book chapter due to be published. Any chance you know of original authors for my reference section? thanks in advance. Dr McGilley

    (i heard about this from a speech by Al Gore in NYC last April)

    Hi Beth,

    I believe Giacomo Rizzolatti was one of the people who first discovered them.

    Marco Iacoboni et al did work on this: http://biology.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pbio.0030079&ct=1

    Dr. Ramahandran, Kaysers, and some others. If you go to the wikipedia page on mirror neurons, you can find all the references of articles you need by scrolling to the bottom:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neurons#_note-27

    It really is a fascinating topic in social neuroscience. Good luck with your book! Are you the same Beth that looks at Bulimia Nervosa? If so, are you hoping to relate mirror neurons to your work?

    Came across your site while surfing in conjunction with my work on mirror neurons. I’d like to forward a recent paper if you send an e-mail address.

    Hi there,

    I was wondering what your academic credentials are, if any.

    Thanks,
    Mike
