Anterior insular cortex and emotional awareness
This paper reviews the foundation for a role of the human anterior insular cortex (AIC) in
emotional awareness, defined as the conscious experience of emotions. We first introduce …

Meta-analytic evidence for common and distinct neural networks associated with directly experienced pain and empathy for pain
A growing body of evidence suggests that empathy for pain is underpinned by neural
structures that are also involved in the direct experience of pain. In order to assess the …

An fMRI study of affective perspective taking in individuals with psychopathy: imagining another in pain does not evoke empathy
While it is well established that individuals with psychopathy have a marked deficit in
affective arousal, emotional empathy, and caring for the well-being of others, the extent to …

Their pain is not our pain: brain and autonomic correlates of empathic resonance with the pain of same and different race individuals
Recent advances in social neuroscience research have unveiled the neurophysiological
correlates of race and intergroup processing. However, little is known about the neural …

Neural processing of dynamic emotional facial expressions in psychopaths
Facial expressions play a critical role in social interactions by eliciting rapid responses in the
observer. Failure to perceive and experience a normal range and depth of emotion seriously …

Callous traits in children with and without conduct problems predict reduced connectivity when viewing harm to others
The presence of elevated callous unemotional (CU) traits seems to designate a distinct
group of children and adolescents with serious conduct problems. However, the extent to …

Functional fractionation of the stimulus-driven attention network
A novel, salient event in the environment powerfully captures attention. This stimulus-driven
attentional capture not only includes orienting of attention toward the event, but also an …

The human factor: behavioral and neural correlates of humanized perception in moral decision making
The extent to which people regard others as full-blown individuals with mental states
(“humanization”) seems crucial for their prosocial motivation towards them. Previous …

Interoceptive awareness mediated the effects of a 15‐minute diaphragmatic breathing on empathy for pain: A randomized controlled trial
Although empathy for pain plays an important role in positive interpersonal relationships and
encourages engagement in prosocial behavior, it remains largely unknown whether …

Dynamic interactions between anterior insula and anterior cingulate cortex link perceptual features and heart rate variability during movie viewing
The dynamic integration of sensory and bodily signals is central to adaptive behaviour.
