| Research Abstract |
1) Neural correlates of sympathy
Our fMRI study found that sympathy for others activated the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, precuneus, and temporo-parietal junction, which are brain regions associated with moral conflict and thinking about the feelings of others. Individual difference in leniency was associated with the right insula activity. These findings were published in Nature Communications.
2) Neural correlates of suspicion
Brain activities associated with being suspicious about others were measured using fMRI. The obtained results are now analyzed.
