From Kirkus:
The discovery of a class of brain cells called mirror neurons was embraced by an
entire generation of scientists as the key to the neurological understanding of human
social behaviors… [Gregory] Hickok (Cognitive Science/University of California, Irvine)
understood the hype – if these claims held up, the mirror neuron theory of “action

mysteries…. A bold look at one of the most exciting theories in neuroscience.
