THOMAS !!  The Human Oxytocin Mediated Attachment System, or THOMAS.

THOMAS engages brain circuits that make us care about others, even
complete strangers. Perhaps surprisingly, THOMAS engages at the
smallest suggestion that someone wants to connect to us. I've showed,
for example, that a person's brain releases oxytocin when he or she is
entrusted with money by a stranger.
...
So, we cry at movies because THOMAS is a fuzzy system. It does not
differentiate between actual human beings and flickering images of
human beings. Either one is enough to kick THOMAS into high gear and
impel our empathy. And it reveals why men like me avoid chick
flicks--we don't want to be seen bawling when the guy finally gets the
girl.

Well, if Clint Eastwood can cry in Million Dollar Baby, I guess I can
shed a couple of tears, too.
