Mirror Neurons and Social Intelligence

Daniel explains that there are multiple networks and circuitry in the brain that are designed to interface with the person in front of us and create a backchannel where emotions pass and all kinds of information. Mirror neurons play a part in this, but it's not just about them. People who have deficits in these circuits have trouble in interaction and relationships. However, all of this can be enhanced with practice, which is good news for emotional intelligence and social intelligence.
