Empathy for positive and negative emotions in the gustatory cortex (2007, background): “In contrast, while more mature individuals are not immune to emotional contagion, they are increasingly able to attribute the shared distress to the other individual, leading to an empathic understanding of the state of others (for reviews see Preston and de Waal, 2002; Gallese, 2003; Gallese et al.”
Mirror Neurons, Embodied Simulation, and the Neural Basis of Social Identification (2009, methodology): “Lepage and Théoret (2007) recently proposed that the development of the MNS can be conceptualized as a process whereby the child learns to refrain from acting out the automatic mapping mechanism linking action perception and execution.”
To Disagree, We Must Also Agree: How Intersubjectivity Structures and Perpetuates Discourse in a Mathematics Classroom (2006, background): “From this empathetic response, speakers constitute a shared manifold of intersubjectivity with those with whom they interact (Gallese, 2003b).”
‘Oh, was that “experiential learning”?!’ Spaces, synergies and surprises with Kolb’s learning cycle (2016, neutral): “, 2009), positive psychology (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990; Rathunde, 2001) and neuroscience (Gallagher and Brøsted Sørensen, 2006; Gallese, 2003).”
The functional significance of mu rhythms: translating "seeing" and "hearing" into "doing". (2005, background): “Gallese [41] suggests that once another individual’s actions are represented and understood in terms of one’s own actions, it is possible to make predictions about the mental state of the observed individual, leading to ‘‘theory of mind’’ capabilities.”
Two systems for empathy: a double dissociation between emotional and cognitive empathy in inferior frontal gyrus versus ventromedial prefrontal lesions. (2009, background): “Only later during childhood and adolescence individuals become increasingly more capable of taking the other individual’s perspective (Hoffman, 1977; Preston and de Waal, 2002; Gallese, 2003; Decety and Jackson, 2004).”
Meta-analytic evidence for common and distinct neural networks associated with directly experienced pain and empathy for pain (2011, neutral): “These accounts should not only consider similarities in neural activity between self and other, but also their differences (Gallese, 2003; Goldman, 2006), as they may be a crucial mechanism allowing us to distinguish between self-relevant and vicarious experiences.”
Affect Regulation, Mirror Neurons, and the Third Hand: Formulating Mindful Empathic Art Interventions (2010, background): “According to Gallese (2003, 2008), mirror neurons were first discovered in the F-5 premotor cortex region of the macaque monkey’s brain.”
The Social Neuroscience of Empathy (2009, background): “Some authors have therefore suggested that we automatically share other people’s feelings, a hypothesis in line with earlier perception−action models of motor behavior and imitation and with their extension to the domain of empathy (Gallese 2003b; Preston & de Waal 2002).”
Emotions: from brain to robot. (2004, background): “Indeed, some have suggested that mirror neurons can contribute not only to ‘simulating’ other people’s actions as the basis for imitation [51], but also ‘simulating’ other people’s feelings as the basis for empathy [16,17,52].”
The contribution of emotional and spiritual intelligences to effective business leadership (2009, background): “Similarly, recent discoveries of the mirror neuron system in the brain have provided biological basis for the capacity for empathy, a component of SI (Gallese, 2003, 2005). Furthermore, meta-analysis of 80 studies reporting neural correlates of empathy suggests that the medial prefrontal cortex medi”
The Brain — A Mediating Organ (2011, background): “Neither consciousness nor the brain may be separated from the living body as a whole.”
