Why only dancers can do a mental pirouette

Dancers always talk about 'body memory'; they have learned to do something 'in their bodies'," said Daniel Glaser, of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London. "But that is nonsense. They learn it in their brains, the bits of the brain that control their movement.
"But what wasn't clear was that that bit of the brain was also activated when you see movement, and that is the critical insight here. You use your ability to move, your movement-control part of the brain, to help you see better."
