if we can find the underlying biological causes of symptoms that are lumped into a disorder, we can not only more accurately define the disorders, but we can more effectively treat them.

I think the whole theory is a construct to miminize our respect of "lower" animals.

the whole brain is the mirror system
the whole brain operates as an associative processor
simmilarity in events causes recall, and recall causes reactions
I am not surprised at all that amimals have much or our cognitive ability especially the basics of associative processing.

I seriously doubt that any mirror neuron will be discovered.

association is the domain/function of the whole brain.

Have you ever taken any courses or anything in neurobiology?

Quote:

The inner possibility of accordance:

...How is the statement able to correspond to something else, the thing, precisely by persisting in its own essence (as a statement)?

Correspondence here cannot signify a thing-like approximation between dissimilar kinds of things. The essence of the correspondence is determined rather by the kind of relation that obtains between the statement and the thing. As long as this "relation" remains undetermined and is not grounded in its essence, all dispute over the possibility and impossibility, over the nature and degree, of the correspondence loses its way in a void. But the statement regarding the thing relates "itself" to this thing in that it presents it and says of the presented how, according to the particular perspective that guides it, it is disposed. What is stated by the presentative statement is said of the presented thing in just such manner as the thing, as presented is. The "such-as" has to do with the presenting and its presented. Disregarding all "psychological" preconceptions as well as those of any "theory of consciousness," to present here means to let the thing stand opposed as object. As thus placed, what stands opposed must traverse an open field of opposedness and nevertheless maintain its stand as a thing and show itself as something withstanding.

Quote:

This appearing of the thing in traversing a field of opposedness takes place within an open region, the openness of which is not first created by the presenting but rather is only entered into and taken over as a domain of relatedness. The relation of the presentative statement to the thing is the accomplishement of that bearing which originally and always comes to prevail as a comportment. But all comportment is distinguished by the fact that, standing in the open region, it adheres to something opened up as such. wWhat is thus opened up, solely in this strict sense, was experienced early in Western thinking as "what is present" and for a long time has been named "being".
