The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Neurodevelopment of Empathy in Humans (2010, background): “, 2007], underpins a physiological mechanism that mobilizes the organism to react, with heightened arousal and attention, to threatening situations [Decety, 2010].”

Dissecting the social brain: Introducing the EmpaToM to reveal distinct neural networks and brain-behavior relations for empathy and Theory of Mind (2015, unknown): “Therefore, ‘shared’ brain networks have been proposed as an underlying mechanism for our ability to empathize (Decety, 2010; Keysers and Gazzola, 2009; Singer et al., 2004).”
Social Cognitive Neuroscience of Empathy: Concepts, Circuits, and Genes (2012, background): “This would require single-cell recordings in humans (see Decety, 2010; also Hickok, 2009, for a critical view on mirror neurons; and Rizzolatti & Sinigaglia, 2010, for a reply).”
