Why man does what he sees
What the man to man, makes essentially the only discovered a few years ago mirror neurons in the brain. You can love us empathize, sympathize. The Freiburg psychiatrist and internist Joachim Bauer considers the discovery of these nerve cells for a neurobiological sensation and them has a revealing book is dedicated. 
let us spontaneously return a smile that gives us someone passing on the street in. Let us yawn when we see others yawn. These are the so-called mirror neurons - a network of nerve cells in various brain regions that are not only active if a man acts himself, but also when observing actions. To mirror neurons to enable excitation, it is even enough to listen even when spoken by an action. Even reading, tasting and smelling can generate an appropriate response in the brain. The nerve network controls our actions often even if we split second after someone hit her legs, do the same. We emulate - people crave after resonance.
were without mirror neurons are no intuition, no empathy, so no empathy, writes psychiatrist and internist Professor Joachim Bauer of the University of Freiburg in his book "Why I feel what you feel."
We would not even be able to evade the throng of a busy pedestrian zone, other passers-by, because we could not guess their intentions.
In relationships with people close to the mirror goes much deeper. From the more volatile Resonance with the comparison is a dynamic inner picture of this man, composed of its properties: its ideas, feelings, physical feelings, desires and emotions, says Bauer, who is also a psychotherapist and specialist in psychosomatic medicine. To have such a reference image of a person means to have something like another man to himself, "adds the 53-year-old. The other is a part of oneself. One feels instinctively that he or she thinks, intends, or feared. Bauer stresses, however: is not innate empathy. You must be lived and learned - just: mirrored. If this fails, because parents do not have time, desire or Love have left for their child, threaten momentous developmental disorders. can jump the absence of other caregivers in the emotional gap, according to Bauer, it is seriously lacking in the ability to form relationships, and the acquisition of skills.
A Man withered not seen, is being ignored. Constant or repeated withdrawal of love is strong stress on the soul and leaves consequences in the brain. The same applies to bullying. The feeling on the left are to be left, people can mentally wear down and may even destroy it. Since the system of mirror neurons essential for our social orientation is to force a failure by mirroring the feeling of floating in extreme danger. Systematic social exclusion of chronic stress, and this is a disease and self-destruction program, Joachim Bauer writes. The brain secretes excessive amounts of alarm neurotransmitters such as glutamate and cortisol, which can kill nerve cells. This allows children to be compassionate adults who have their mirror neurons are stimulated rates from the beginning. Children who have experienced even just a little empathy, respect and tenderness, can lack of mirroring experiences hardly feel and show compassion, says Bauer. In schoolyard brawls leads not infrequently to the fact that such children knock heartless. They do not realize when limits are reached, complained of the Freiburg doctors.
His solution sounds simple: get the mirror neurons have served up as many favorable impressions - good nerves lining, so to speak. The expert recommends a controlled diet for the brain. Everything we see, leaves us in his tracks, warns farmers - especially when the brain always consumed the same. Constant dripping wears away, unfortunately, here the stone. Nerve connections, the violence usually not more repugnant can appear , training or to become stronger. Therefore, people develop a vigilance for what impressions we use to let us know what is good for us personally and what is not, says the author. In children, parents must assume this filter function.

Lexicon currently Mirror neurons are specialized nerve cells of the brain. It is now known that they form a whole mirror neuron system. Vittorio Gallese and Giacomo Rizzolatti (University of Parma discovered) In 1996 the neurons during investigations on Makakkengehirn (primates). The researchers observed activity in a frontal brain area, which is responsible for coordinated movement (premotor cortex), although the animal showed no real reaction - the monkey but the researchers observed when gripping! In the human anatomy is Broca's area (language and Gestikzentrum) in the frontal lobe. The discovery of mirror neurons therefore sparked new discussions about language development and acquisition of human beings.
