TL;DR: Evidence from a selection of research topics relevant to pandemics is discussed, including work on navigating threats, social and cultural influences on behaviour, science communication, moral decision-making, leadership, and stress and coping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putting Feelings Into Words Affect Labeling Disrupts Amygdala Activity in Response to Affective Stimuli
Matthew D. Lieberman,Naomi I. Eisenberger,Molly J. Crockett,Sabrina M. Tom,Jennifer H. Pfeifer,Baldwin M. Way +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that affect labeling may diminish emotional reactivity along a pathway from RVLPFC to MPFC to the amygdala, which is mediated by activity in medial prefrontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serotonin selectively influences moral judgment and behavior through effects on harm aversion
TL;DR: It is shown that the neurotransmitter serotonin directly alters both moral judgment and behavior through increasing subjects’ aversion to personally harming others, providing unique evidence that serotonin could promote prosocial behavior by enhancing harm aversion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serotonin Modulates Behavioral Reactions to Unfairness
Molly J. Crockett,Molly J. Crockett,Luke Clark,Luke Clark,Golnaz Tabibnia,Golnaz Tabibnia,Matthew D. Lieberman,Matthew D. Lieberman,Trevor W. Robbins,Trevor W. Robbins +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that 5-HT plays a critical role in regulating emotion during social decision-making and rejected a greater proportion of unfair offers, but not fair offers, without showing changes in mood, fairness judgment, basic reward processing, or response inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconciling the Role of Serotonin in Behavioral Inhibition and Aversion: Acute Tryptophan Depletion Abolishes Punishment-Induced Inhibition in Humans
TL;DR: It is shown that serotonin is critical for punishment-induced inhibition but not overall motor response inhibition or reporting aversive outcomes, and this findings extend and clarify previous research on the role of serotonin in aversive processing and behavioral inhibition and fit with current theorizing on the involvement of serotonin.
