Cognitive Neuroscience Section, NINDS, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Soc Neurosci 2:336-52. 2007..Additional activation in specific components of this network is elicited by different classes of moral emotions, in agreement with recent integrative models of moral cognition and emotion...
The neural basis of human social values: evidence from functional MRIRoland Zahn
National Institutes of Health, National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Cognitive Neuroscience Section, Bethesda, MD 20892 1440, USA
Cereb Cortex 19:276-83. 2009..This neural architecture may provide the basis of our ability to communicate about the meaning of social values across cultural contexts without limiting our flexibility to adapt their emotional interpretation...

Cognitive Neuroscience Section, NINDS, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892 1440, USA
Neuroimage 54:1735-42. 2011..Our findings suggest a critical role of the frontopolar cortex and septal region in enabling prosocial sentiments, a fundamental component of moral conscience...

J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci 20:390-408. 2008..The authors believe that this model explains the specific symptoms, and integrates the psychology and neuroanatomy of OCD better than previous models...
Neural correlates of trustFrank Krueger
Cognitive Neuroscience Section, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892 1440, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104:20084-9. 2007..The interplay of these neural systems supports reciprocal exchange that operates beyond the immediate spheres of kinship, one of the distinguishing features of the human species...
Event frequency modulates the processing of daily life activities in human medial prefrontal cortexFrank Krueger
Cognitive Neuroscience Section, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892 1440, USA
Cereb Cortex 17:2346-53. 2007..We conclude that subregions of the medial PFC are differentially engaged in processing event sequence knowledge depending on how often the activity was reportedly performed in daily life...
