The Importance of Emotions for the Effectiveness of Social Punishment (2006, background): “That these are indeed reliable can be deduced from a recent neuroimaging study (Takahashi et al., 2004) that showed correlations of self reported guilt ratings and activation of theory of mind related brain areas (i.e. medial prefrontal cortex and posterior superior temporal sulcus).6 For all these…”
The Cognitive Neuroscience of Moral Judgment (2010, background): “Thus, the activity observed in this network during the contemplation of dilemmas involving “personal” harm is probably related to the fact that these stimuli involve such non-sensory representations, although this alone does not explain why “personal” dilemmas engage this network more than…”

Neural mechanisms of social influence (2009, background): “Particularly relevant to the present investigation is fMRI evidence that the mPFC plays a role in the processing of social norms, including perceiving norm violations (Berthoz, Armony, Blair, & Dolan, 2002) and experiencing embarrassment or guilt for the social norm transgressions of others (Takahas”
Ventromedial prefrontal volume predicts understanding of others and social network size (2011, background): “, 2010), and was also more active during the social emotion of embarrassment, in which one typically metalizes about the thoughts and reactions of others, than during the less social emotion of guilt (Takahashi et al., 2004).”
