MIRROR NEURONS AND SYMPATHY. In the article I linked to yesterday, Christopher Chabris says that the activity of mirror neurons is not limited to the physical movements of the body. They also appear in the body’s efforts to understand what other people are feeling and saying. When you see a woman grinning, the same parts of your brain are activated that are active when you are happy. You can understand that she is happy without going through a chain of reasoning.
