Dr. López has probably found "mirror neurons".

A mirror neuron is a neuron that flames both when a creature acts and when the creature watches a similar activity performed by another. Hence, the neuron "mirrors" the conduct of alternate, as if the onlooker were itself acting. Such neurons have been straight forwardly seen in primate species.
