Why do people cry or get emotional while watching scenes in movies?
March 20th 2010 02:45
The phenomena of reacting to emotional scenes can be analyzed by explaining mirror neurons. These are activated both when an animal performs and action and when the animal observes the same action being performed by another animal. The results of brain imaging experiments show that the human inferior frontal cortex and superior parietal lobule are active when a person performs an action and also when the person sees another individual performing an action. Mirror neurons let you walk in other persons shoes by creating an impression of you experiencing the same thing as the other – be it reacting to sad scenes in movie or jumping with joy at an Indian cricket victory.
