Mirror neurons have created a fascination for many people. They were discovered in 1990 and are known for important functions such as social learning, empathy, and language acquisition.

One of the proposed therapeutic methods for cancer is the use of mirror neurons. By activating mirror neurons in the patient's brain, it may be possible to "remind" cancer cells of their evolutionary origin and encourage them to behave more like healthy cells and abandon their previous behaviors.

To accomplish this, it is first necessary to have a good understanding of mirror neurons. Mirror neurons are a type of neuron that becomes active both when an individual performs an action and when they observe another person performing the same action, leading to behaviors such as imitation and learning.

The concept of "evolutionary information" arises from the fact that cancer cells are mutated versions of healthy cells. They arise due to genetic mutations or other uncontrollable factors that affect cell division. However, despite these changes, cancer cells still retain many characteristics of healthy cells. For example, they are still dependent on specific signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms that are common to all cells.

Therefore, the idea of using mirror neurons for cancer treatment is to make these neurons more active in patients and expose them to stimuli that remind them of the evolutionary origin of cancer cells. This can be done through various methods, such as visual or auditory stimuli that mimic the chemical signals present in healthy cells.

It is hoped that by implementing this idea, we can reprogram cancer cells to behave more like healthy cells and design a sort of restart button for them.
