Is this the first ever direct evidence for human mirror neurons? Mirror neurons are one of the most hyped concepts in psychology and neurocience. V.S. Ramachandran famously wrote that they will 'do for psychology what DNA did for biology'. Mukamel's team seized the opportunity for single cell recording provided by the clinical investigations that were being carried out on patients with intractable epilepsy. Most of the 1177 cells that were recorded showed a response either to the execution of an action or the sight of that action, not both. Critics could argue that rather than having mirror properties, these cells were responding to a concept. Another potential criticism is that the execution-related activity of a postulated mirror neuron is triggered by the sight of one's own action, rather than by motor-output per se. Mirror neurons make functional sense in relation to empathy and imitative learning, but a drawback could be unwanted imitation and confusion regarding ownership over actions.

In the context of web logs / ‘blogs / blogging and other kinds of personal web sites it’s some kind of list of questions that you saw somewhere else and you decided to answer the questions. By some other definitions memes are viral and propagate around sometimes mutating as they propagate. Eventually some people decided they were going to creating weekly questionnaires (memes) and post them every week. Personally I liked these sites; sometimes they give me things to write about that I would have never started the topic on my own. Other information from around the web A meme is:
