• The Role of Affect in the Neurodevelopment of Morality (2013, background): “Such affective responses are likely to be mediated by early-developing neural systems such as the subcortical pathways, which connect brainstem nuclei, superior colliculus, hypothalamus, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and amygdala (Decety, 2010).”
