Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon described in the scenario is likely due to mirror neurons, which are neurons that fire both when an individual performs a specific action and when they observe someone else performing the same action. In this case, Sandy's observation of her brother's smile may be activating mirror neurons in her own brain that inhibit the ability to frown, as the brain "mirrors" the positive emotional state of her brother.
