• Longitudinal Development of Human Brain Wiring Continues from Childhood into Adulthood (2011, background): “Frontal connections including these association tracts support complex cognitive processing (Moll et al., 2005; Blakemore and Choudhury, 2006; Jung and Haier, 2007), much of which continues developing during late adolescence and early adulthood.”
• The role of prediction in social neuroscience (2012, background): “This is confirmed in studies showing activity in the reward circuit when giving charitable donations (Moll et al., 2005; Harbaugh et al., 2007).”
• No Compromise: Political Consequences of Moralized Attitudes (2017, neutral): “For studies that find moralized attitudes to elicit distinctive neural patterns, see Berns et al. (2012); Greene et al. (2001); Greene (2007b); Moll et al. (2002); Moll and de Oliveira-Souza (2007); Moll et al. (2005).”
• Triune ethics: The neurobiological roots of our multiple moralities (2008, background): “The three ethics correspond to ‘‘central motives’’ that color perception and goal setting and which comprise part of what Moll and colleagues call the event–feature–emotion complexes that drive moral cognitive phenomena (Moll et al., 2005).”
• “Doing well by doing good”? Ambivalent moral framing in organizations (2011, background): “Lesions to the ventral prefrontal cortex at an early age are particularly damaging for later moral functioning, which suggests that these areas are primarily useful in the acquisition of moral values through ‘‘social-emotional contextual knowledge’’ (Moll et al., 2005).”
• The Neural Correlates of Third-Party Punishment (2008, positive): “…et al., 2005; Koenigs and Tranel, 2007; Greene and Haidt, 2002; Greene et al., 2001, 2004; Haidt, 2001; Heekeren et al., 2003; Koenigs et al., 2007; Moll et al., 2002b, 2005), and provide preliminary neuroscientific support for a proposed role of emotions in legal decision-making (Arkush, 2008;…”
• Innocent intentions: a correlation between forgiveness for accidental harm and neural activity. (2009, background): “Undoubtedly, other brain regions (e.g., LTPJ), other cognitive processes (e.g., cognitive control, emotional empathy, emotion regulation), and other specific mental state factors (e.g., desires, goals, intentions) also contribute to moral judgment (Farrow et al., 2001; Heekeren, Wartenburger, Schmid”
• The neuroscience of social decision-making. (2011, background): “…relevant) work within the broader domain of social neuroscience , including the neuroscience of moral decision-making (Greene et al. 2004, Moll et al. 2005), theory of mind (Gallagher & Frith 2003, Saxe et al. 2004), face processing (Haxby et al. 2002, Todorov et al. 2008), attitudes…”
