• Why we laugh - The Brain’s comedy club

  In this episode, I'm taking you on a hilarious journey into your brain's own comedy club! Did you know your brain treats laughter like a super-power? When we laugh, it's like throwing a feel-good party in our heads, releasing happy chemicals that make us feel amazing. I explore why even babies crack up before they can talk, and why laughing with others is literally contagious - it's like a social superglue! From dad jokes to sophisticated humor, I reveal why our brains are basically built-in laugh tracks, and how this simple 'ha-ha' has been keeping humans sane and social since forever. Trust me, the science of giggles is seriously funny business! 😄

• Mirror neurons - How your brain reads minds

  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!
