#75: Desentrañando el sistema de neuronas espejo


Listen Later

En este episodio, exploramos a fondo el fascinante pero controvertido sistema de las neuronas espejo. Desentrañamos su descubrimiento, su neurofisiología, y el papel que desempeñan en procesos como la comprensión de acciones, la imitación, la empatía y el lenguaje. Además, abordamos las críticas más relevantes de autores como Hickok y Heyes, reflexionamos sobre su relevancia en la neurorrehabilitación y analizamos su conexión con otras redes cerebrales como el cerebelo. Un episodio esencial para entender el estado actual de la ciencia detrás de estas células y su impacto en la cognición y la clínica.
