Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mirror neurons are responsible for empathy, understanding the emotions and actions of others, and imitating their behavior. In this scenario, the audience members are likely experiencing an emotional response to the love story they witnessed on screen, causing their mirror neurons to activate and elicit a similar emotional response in themselves. Mimic neurons and osmotic neurons are not real concepts, and empathic neurons are not specific enough to adequately explain the phenomenon.
