The motive cocktail in childrens altruistic behaviors

This study investigates the motivational mechanisms behind children's third-party altruistic behaviors using the motive cocktail model, revealing gender differences in moral aversion and intervention tendencies.

Dynamic valuation bias explains social influence on cheating behavior

The paper investigates how observing others' dishonesty influences cheating behavior through dynamic valuation bias and identifies neural mechanisms involved in this process.

Causal Role of the Medial Prefrontal Cortex in Learning Social Hierarchy

This study uses tDCS to show that medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) impairment disrupts social hierarchy learning and transitive inference, with effects modulated by social rank.

ERPs responses to dominance features from human faces

This study uses ERPs to show that facial dominance evaluation occurs late in processing, with LPP amplitudes differing for high and low dominance faces compared to neutral.

Cognitive regulation of multimodal food perception in the human brain

The paper identifies brain regions and hormonal markers involved in cognitive regulation of appetite for food stimuli presented via olfactory and visual modalities while hungry.

Neurocomputational mechanisms underlying immoral decisions benefiting self or others

The paper investigates how neural mechanisms differ when making immoral decisions that benefit oneself versus others, finding distinct brain activity patterns in prefrontal regions.

Altered orbitofrontal sulcogyral patterns in gambling disorder: a multicenter study

This study finds a skewed distribution of orbitofrontal sulcogyral patterns in gambling disorder, with increased prevalence of Type II patterns compared to healthy controls.

Bayesian Inference of Other Minds Explains Human Choices in Group Decision Making

The paper shows humans use Bayesian inference to model group dynamics in decision-making, outperforming existing models in explaining behavior in the Volunteers Dilemma.

Neural Modulation of Social Distance on Third-Party Punishment

This study investigates how social distance modulates third-party punishment and its neural correlates using fMRI, finding that social distance affects punishment behavior and specific brain regions involved in decision-making and social processing.
