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 identifies three distinct types of prosocial decisions through a feature-based network analysis and fMRI meta-analysis, revealing diverging neural systems for each type.

This paper introduces a method to adjust for variable brain coverage in fMRI meta-analysis, showing increased effect sizes in regions with low coverage.
