Journal ArticleDOI

A neural basis for social cooperation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used fMRI to scan 36 women as they played an iterated Prisoner's Dilemma Game with another woman to investigate the neurobiological basis of cooperative social behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictability modulates human brain response to reward.

TL;DR: For pleasurable stimuli, these findings suggest that predictability modulates the response of human reward regions, and subjective preference can be dissociated from this response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperscanning: Simultaneous fMRI during Linked Social Interactions

TL;DR: A new methodology for the measurement of the neural substrates of human social interaction is described, which allows for the performance of human behavioral experiments in which participants can interact with each other while functional MRI is acquired in synchrony with the behavioral interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity in human ventral striatum locked to errors of reward prediction.

TL;DR: The mesolimbic dopaminergic system has long been known to be involved in the processing of rewarding stimuli, although recent evidence from animal research has suggested a more specific role of signaling errors in the prediction of rewards as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does Anticipation of Pain Affect Cortical Nociceptive Systems

TL;DR: FMRI results suggest that the activity of cortical nociceptive networks may be directly influenced by cognitive factors, and provide evidence for top-down mechanisms, triggered by anticipation, modulating cortical systems involved in sensory and affective components of pain even in the absence of actual noxious input.
