Hi, Brain Explorers! 🧠👀

Did you know your brain has special cells that mirror what others do? They're called mirror neurons, and they help you understand how someone feels just by watching them—like when you see a friend smile and suddenly feel happy too! 😊

It’s almost like your brain is doing a mini version of what you see, helping you “read minds” without even trying. That’s how we learn, connect, and feel empathy. 🤝💡

So the next time you yawn because someone else does—blame your mirror neurons!
