Mirror-touch synesthesia is a rare condition which causes individuals to experience a similar sensation in the same part or opposite part of the body (such as touch) that another person feels. For example, if someone with this condition were to observe someone touching their cheek , they would feel the same sensation on their own cheek.
It has been suggested that synesthesia develops during childhood when children are intensively engaged with abstract concepts for the first time. [12] This hypothesis—referred to as semantic vacuum hypothesis —could explain why the most common forms of synesthesia are grapheme-color, spatial sequence, and number form.
Facial synkinesis is a common sequela to Idiopathic Facial Nerve Paralysis, also called Bell's Palsy or Facial Palsy. [2] Bell's Palsy, which is thought to occur due to a viral reactivation which can lead (through unknown mechanisms) to diffuse axon demyelination and degeneration of the seventh cranial nerve, results in a hemifacial paralysis due to non-functionality of the nerve.
The activation of mirror neurons takes place within the individual who begins to mirror another's movements and allows them a greater connection and understanding with the individual who they are mirroring, as well as allowing the individual who is being mirrored to feel a stronger connection with the other individual.

Because of the swelling, added pressure is applied to these formations causing their basic functions to be disturbed.
