Mirror Neuron

A neuron that activates in the brain when observing someone perform an action or express an emotion, as if you were performing that action or feeling that emotion yourself. It 'mirrors' others' behaviors and serves as the foundation for imitation, empathy, and understanding others.

We naturally yawn when someone next to us yawns, or emotionally connect with characters in movies, demonstrating how we can naturally perceive and connect with others' emotions and intentions. This serves as a core element of social interaction.
