Effects of oxytocin and prosocial behavior on brain responses to direct and vicariously experienced painTania Singer
Center for the Study of Social and Neural Systems, University of Zurich, Blümlisalpstrasse, Zurich, Switzerland
Emotion 8:781-91. 2008..The results suggest that selfish individuals may not be as rational and unemotional as usually suggested, their actions being determined by their feeling anxious rather than by reason...- The social neuroscience of empathyTania Singer
University of Zurich, Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, Zurich, Switzerland
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1156:81-96. 2009.... - Differential roles of fairness- and compassion-based motivations for cooperation, defection, and punishmentTania Singer
Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, University of Zurich, Blumlisalpstrasse 10, Zurich, Switzerland
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1167:41-50. 2009.... - A common role of insula in feelings, empathy and uncertaintyTania Singer
Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, University of Zurich, Switzerland
Trends Cogn Sci 13:334-40. 2009..Such mechanisms could facilitate affective learning and regulation of body homeostasis, and could also guide decision making in complex and uncertain environments... - Neural responses to ingroup and outgroup members' suffering predict individual differences in costly helpingGrit Hein
Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, Institute for Empirical Research in Economics, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Neuron 68:149-60. 2010..We conclude that empathy-related insula activation can motivate costly helping, whereas an antagonistic signal in nucleus accumbens reduces the propensity to help... - Skin conductance response to the pain of others predicts later costly helpingGrit Hein
Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, Department of Economics, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
PLoS ONE 6:e22759. 2011..We conclude that prosocial motivation is fostered by the strength of the vicarious autonomic response as well as its match with first-hand autonomic experience... - Meta-analytic evidence for common and distinct neural networks associated with directly experienced pain and empathy for painClaus Lamm
Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Neuroimage 54:2492-502. 2011..We conclude that social neuroscience paradigms provide reliable and accurate insights into complex social phenomena such as empathy and that meta-analyses of previous studies are a valuable tool in this endeavor... - Short-term compassion training increases prosocial behavior in a newly developed prosocial gameSusanne Leiberg
Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, Department of Economics, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
PLoS ONE 6:e17798. 2011..Our results provide first evidence for the positive impact of short-term compassion training on prosocial behavior towards strangers in a training-unrelated task... - The role of anterior insular cortex in social emotionsClaus Lamm
Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research, University of Zurich, Blumlisalpstrasse 10, 8006, Zurich, Switzerland
Brain Struct Funct 214:579-91. 2010.... - I feel how you feel but not always: the empathic brain and its modulationGrit Hein
University of Zurich, Center for the Study of Social and Neural Systems, Blumlisalpstrasse 10, CH 8006 Zurich, Switzerland
Curr Opin Neurobiol 18:153-8. 2008..Future studies in the field should address inter-individual differences in empathy, development and plasticity of the empathic brain over the life span, and the link between empathy, compassionate motivation, and prosocial behavior...
