Chris at Mixing Memory has a piece on the latest paper (Freedberg & Gallese, TICS 2007) to describe mirror neurons as accounting for empathy, art, aesthetics, and all forms of nonverbal communication (and and peace, love, and understanding. What's so funny?).
Mirror neurons are indeed neat, but many observers think the whole craze is an overhyped meme.
