"Intriguingly, one of the most active sites of mirror neuron systems is located in the ‘Broca’s area,’ an area of the brain crucial to language processing. In 1998, Dr. Michael Arbib, a neuroscientist at the University of Southern California, discovered that language itself appears to rise from the same syntactic understanding of action generated by our mirror neurons."
