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.

The paper shows that the cortisol awakening response enhances prefrontal control over emotional memory suppression, specifically for recent memories.

This study investigates how guilt and shame drive altruistic behavior through cognitive antecedents and neural mechanisms using fMRI and computational modeling.

This study shows that the cortisol awakening response (CAR) proactively modulates brain network dynamics during emotional and executive tasks, affecting accuracy and neural state transitions.

The paper identifies a 'motive cocktail' of seven socioeconomic motives that explain altruistic behaviors through experimental data and computational modeling.

The paper shows that social navigation in abstract social space uses distance and grid-like neural codes similar to spatial navigation, with performance linked to social traits.

This paper shows acute stress shifts third-party decisions from punishment to help in injustice events by altering neural network activity and connectivity.

This study shows that long-term stress alters the dynamic reconfiguration of functional brain networks during rest, emotion, and working memory tasks, increasing persistence in goal-directed states and correlations with psychological distress.

This study examines how oxytocin modulates social brain network correlations during resting and task states using fMRI, finding that OT increases predictive power of resting state networks for task-evoked activity and reduces individual variation.

The paper investigates the cortisol awakening response (CAR) and its role in brain preparedness, finding that CAR predicts improved neural efficiency and working memory performance.

This study identifies dynamic functional states of amygdala subregions in humans and links them to autonomic arousal through fMRI and skin conductance measurements.

This study examines how long-term stress and trait anxiety interact to affect brain network balance during working memory tasks, finding altered decision-making and network dynamics.
