Recent studies have reported the discovery of a group of neurons in the motor cortex of the brain's gray. These neurons are called mirror neurons. Rizzolatti and colleagues in 1990s discovered the first mirror neuron system in monkeys in the University of Parma. Mirror neurons in brain are responsible for understanding the actions and intentions of others. The mirror neuron system has an import...

Background and Aim: Stroke is one of major causes of disability. Therefore, it is important to introduce and develop new treatment approaches in order to improve and enhance post-stroke recovery process for medical, social, and economical purposes. The present study aimed at determining the effect of mirror therapy on walking ability of patients with stroke regarding the muscular power of the a...

The new findings show that the brain has group of neurons which has mirror properties; these neurons called mirror neurons. Despite the fact there is no reliable physiological symptoms associated with Autism , it seems deficit in the mirror neurons in the prefrontal associated with this disorder. The purpose of this survey was finding the evidence on disordered function of the neurons in the ch...

  Charge symmetry breaking potentials due to the exchange of pseudoscalar and vector mesons in mirror nuclei are considered. With the computation of coulmb energy along with the present charge symmetry breaking effects provide a reasonably accurate description of the binding energy differences between mirror nuclei.

Background and purpose: Stroke is one of major causes of disability and self care. Therefore, it is important to introduce and develop new treatment approaches in order to improve and enhance post stroke recovery process for medical, social and economical purposes. The aim of this study was determine the effect of mirror therapy on self care of patients with stroke. Materials and methods: This...
