A new study finds that rhesus monkeys display self-recognition behaviors toward a mirror after multimodal sensory-motor training. This finding closes a prior gap in the evolutionary continuity of animal cognition and opens new frontiers for exploring the neurobiological basis of self-awareness.
一项新的研究发现,恒河猴在接受多模态感觉运动训练后,会对镜子表现出自我识别行为。这一发现填补了动物认知进化连续性方面的先前空白,并为探索自我意识的神经生物学基础开辟了新的前沿。
