Role of Mirror Neuron Cells in Mimicking and Cognition: Mechanisms Explaining Roles of Mirror Neuron Cells

This book provides the latest and more relevant information about mirror neuron cells (MNC). The initial chapter provides an overview of mirror neuron cells including discovery and historical perspectives. The subsequent chapter cover important points relating to mirror neuron cells such as their activities, and anatomical location. The book also discusses the role of mirror neuron cells in mimicking and cognition. Further, the book defines the role of the mirror neuron system in the neurological disorders and implicates the involvement of mirror neuron regions in the perception of motor actions, human speech discrimination, and imitative responses. This book is an important source for neuroscientists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons.

Dr. Ahed J Alkhatib is a retired clinical researcher in the Department of legal medicine and forensic sciences, faculty of medicine, Jordan university of science and technology. Dr. Alkhatib has recently been awarded honorary professorship from Cypress International Institute University (Texas - USA). He has also been awarded the position of top 100 doctors for 2022. Also, He have been awarded “The best research award for 2021”. He got the Ph.D. from Cambell State University in 2011. Over time, Alkhatib published more than 300 articles in various medical fields including neurosciences, pharmacology, and diabetes. The approaches followed by Alkhatib in research include the involvement of philosophy of science in research which gives looking and thinking in depth. This is the fifth book authored by Dr. Alkhatib in Springer nature, in addition to 10ths of books with other publishers.  

Alkhatib has developed several hypotheses in medicine such as the role of white matter in initiating diseases such as diabetes. In microbiology, Dr. Ahed has demonstrated that prokaryotic cells and eukaryoticcells are similar in producing cell cycle proteins that can participate in autoimmunity diseases.
