Empathy-induced altruistic motivation. (2010, neutral): “self-other differentiation rather than merging (e.g., Jackson, Meltzoff, & Decety, 2005;”
The Observation and Execution of Actions Share Motor and Somatosensory Voxels in all Tested Subjects: Single-Subject Analyses of Unsmoothed fMRI Data (2008, methodology): “…location and reliability of sVx and proposes a model that extends the original idea of the MNS to include forward and inverse internal models and motor and sensory simulation, distinguishing the MNS from a more general concept of sVx. Keywords: action, execution, fMRI, mirror neurons, observation”
Social learning of fear (2007, background): “is also involved when people observe or imagine another individual's pai”
Dissecting the Neural Mechanisms Mediating Empathy (2011, background): “…not find any correlation between subscales of the IRI and hemodynamic activation (Akitsuki & Decety, 2009; Cheng et al., 2007; Danziger et al., 2009; Decety, Echols, et al., 2009; Jackson et al., 2005; Lamm, Batson, & Decety, 2007; Lamm & Decety, 2008; Lamm et al., 2009; Moriguchi et al., 2007).”
Meta-analytic evidence for common and distinct neural networks associated with directly experienced pain and empathy for pain (2011, neutral): “…(Salimi-Khorshidi et al., 2009), our primary analyses were based on individual activation maps collected from nine different fMRI studies and a total of 168 participants (Bird et al., 2010; Hein et al., 2010; Jackson et al., 2005, 2006; Lamm et al., 2007, 2010; Singer et al., 2004, 2006, 2008).”
Human Empathy Through the Lens of Social Neuroscience (2006, background): “However, these findings are at odds with fMRI studies of empathy for pain, which did not detect any changes in the somatosensory cortex during the perception of pain in others[22,23,24].”
The Social Neuroscience of Empathy (2009, background): “Recent fMRI and TMS studies investigated the neural correlates of this phenomenon (Avenanti et al. 2006; Jackson et al. 2005; Lamm et al. 2007a).”
