Summary
This document is page 78 of a larger file (stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021324). It contains a scientific text discussing neuroscience, specifically the discovery and function of 'Mirror Neurons.' It details experiments conducted by Professor Giacomo Rizzolatti at the University of Parma involving monkeys, including an anecdote where a researcher eating gelato inadvertently demonstrated that neurons fire when a monkey observes an action, not just when performing it. There is no direct mention of Epstein or his associates on this specific page.
