For the average backseat driver, about the only thing worse than taking the wrong exit on a busy highway is watching someone else take the wrong exit — from the passenger seat. So it may not be surprising that the brain of a scolding passenger shows the same pattern of activity as that of an irritated driver.
A region of the brain that lights up when someone makes an error, scientists have found, also springs into action when another person makes a mistake. An interesting report from the NY Times.
