Journal ArticleDOI
The role of shared neural activations, mirror neurons, and morality in empathy—A critical comment.
Claus Lamm,Jasminka Majdandžić +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of the review is to provide the basis for critically evaluating the current understanding of empathy, and its public reception, and to inspire new research directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased neural responses to empathy for pain might explain how acute stress increases prosociality.
Livia Tomova,Jasminka Majdandžić,Jasminka Majdandžić,Allan Hummer,Christian Windischberger,Markus Heinrichs,Claus Lamm +6 more
TL;DR: While acute stress may increase prosocial behavior by intensifying the sharing of others’ emotions, this comes at the cost of reduced cognitive appraisal abilities, depending on the contextual constraints, stress may affect empathy in ways that are either beneficial or detrimental.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement-Specific Repetition Suppression in Ventral and Dorsal Premotor Cortex during Action Observation
TL;DR: Results suggest that PMv is involved in controlling the kinematic means of an appropriate hand–object interaction, whereas PMd is focused on specifying the desired end state of an action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct neural processes are engaged in the modulation of mimicry by social group-membership and emotional expressions.
TL;DR: The findings show that subtle social cues can result in the implicit regulation of mimicry, which serves to achieve distinct affiliative goals, is mediated by different regulatory processes, and relies on distinct parts of an overarching network of task-related brain areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
The selfless mind: How prefrontal involvement in mentalizing with similar and dissimilar others shapes empathy and prosocial behavior.
Jasminka Majdandžić,Jasminka Majdandžić,Sandra Amashaufer,Allan Hummer,Christian Windischberger,Claus Lamm +5 more
TL;DR: A pattern of results suggests that generating and enhancing other-related representations while overcoming one's own perspective, rather than enhanced recruitment of self-projection processes, is driving the facilitative effects of mentalizing on later empathic and prosocial responses.
