We argue, by analogy to the neural organization of the object recognition system, that demonstration of modulation of mirror neurons by associative learning does not imply absence of genetic adaptation. Innate connectivity defines the types of processes mirror neurons can participate in while allowing for extensive local plasticity. However, the proper function of these neurons remains to be worked out.
我们通过类比物体识别系统的神经组织来论证，联想学习对镜像神经元的调节作用并不意味着遗传适应的缺失。先天连接性定义了镜像神经元可以参与的过程类型，同时允许广泛的局部可塑性。然而，这些神经元的正确功能仍有待研究。
