Somatosensation in social perception

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 11, 417 (2010). doi:10.1038/nrn2833

Authors: Christian Keysers, Jon H. Kaas & Valeria Gazzola

The discovery of mirror neurons in motor areas of the brain has led many to assume that our ability to understand other people's behaviour partially relies on vicarious activations of motor cortices. This Review focuses the limelight of social neuroscience on a different set of

Insights into the life and work of Sir Charles Sherrington

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 11, 429 (2010). doi:10.1038/nrn2835

Authors: Zoltán Molnár & Richard E. Brown

Much of the original historical data behind the greatest discoveries in neuroscience are now lost. However, a recently rediscovered box of histological slides belonging to Sir Charles Sherrington, a pioneer in spinal cord and motor control research, has survived at the University of Oxford since
