Frontal-lobe neuron system {mirror-neuron system} {mirror neuron}, in rostral ventral premotor area F5, allows perception, understanding, and action imitation. Neurons are active when people perform actions and when other people perform same actions. Brain connects voluntary-muscle commands, proprioception, visual perception, and sounds.
