The paper shows that neural responses to harm in one task predict prosocial effort in another, linking moral sensitivity to prosocial motivation.

This study shows that LSD increases inter-brain synchrony and felt connectedness in romantic couples during rest and interaction, independent of drug concentration.

This study investigates whether autistic traits affect self-bias and social basis function use during social decision-making, finding no significant relationship.

This study uses computational modeling on a large sample to show that punishment learning increases with age while reward learning remains stable, and action initiation biases decrease.

The paper shows that prosocial behavior and interoceptive awareness are linked to neural similarity and dissimilarity in the ACCg and AI during vicarious reward processing.

The paper examines how confidence in social versus non-social information affects neural activity and behavioral learning.

This study shows that oxytocin modulates prediction error encoding in the midbrain-sgACC pathway during prosocial learning, without affecting self-oriented learning.

The paper identifies distinct neural representations for prosocial and self-benefitting effort using fMRI and shows empathy correlates with prosocial effort encoding.

This study shows that older adults maintain prosocial learning rates but have reduced self-relevant learning rates compared to younger adults.

The paper investigates neural mechanisms of model-free learning in moral decision-making, finding that model-free learning prioritizes avoiding harm to others over self and involves specific brain regions.
