In memetics and memeology, we are asked -- what is the physical basis for the tranmission of memes. One answer may be mirror neurons. These are cells that fire both when an individual performs and action and when that person then watches another person doing that action! Meme transmission is dependent on copying and imitative behavior that is then passed on to others. Here's a nice little video about mirror neurons: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3204/01.html
