What makes yawning contagious?
That's really interesting. Can you tell me more about the neural mechanism behind contagious yawning?
Sure. It's been suggested that mirror neurons in the brain are responsible for contagious yawning, as they help us imitate the behavior of others. Additionally, certain areas of the brain involved in processing and regulating emotions, such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, have also been implicated in contagious yawning.
