TL;DR: An activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis reveals that the cerebellum is critically implicated in social cognition and that the areas of the cere Bellum which are consistently involved in social cognitive processes show extensive overlap with the areas involved in sensorimotor (during mirror and self-judgments tasks) as well as in executive functioning (across all tasks).

TL;DR: The way sleep impacts next day mood/emotion is thought to be affected particularly via REM-sleep, where a hyperlimbic and hypoactive dorsolateral prefrontal functioning in combination with a normal functioning of the medial prefrontal cortex is observed, probably adaptive in coping with the continuous stream of emotional events the authors experience.

TL;DR: The findings point to the importance of the orbitofrontal cortex for affect-laden information processing and to the existence of distinct neural nets for the re-activation of positively and negatively viewed autobiographic episodes.

TL;DR: The results indicate that patients with selective amygdala damage have lower scores in both decisions under ambiguity and decisions under risk, and suggest that deciding advantageously under risk conditions involves both the use of feedback from previous trials, as required by decisions under ambiguous, and in addition, executive functions.

TL;DR: Results confirm that episodic and counterfactual thinking share a common brain network, involving a core memory network and prefrontal areas that might be related to mentalizing and performance monitoring and additionally activates the bilateral inferior parietal lobe and posterior medial frontal cortex.
