Journal ArticleDOI
A common role of insula in feelings, empathy and uncertainty
TL;DR: A unifying model in which insula cortex supports different levels of representation of current and predictive states allowing for error-based learning of both feeling states and uncertainty is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neuronal basis and ontogeny of empathy and mind reading: Review of literature and implications for future research
TL;DR: It is suggested that the abilities to understand other people's thoughts and to share their affects display different ontogenetic trajectories reflecting the different developmental paths of their underlying neural structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Neural Basis of Empathy
Boris C. Bernhardt,Tania Singer +1 more
TL;DR: Empathy-related insular and cingulate activity may reflect domain-general computations representing and predicting feeling states in self and others, likely guiding adaptive homeostatic responses and goal-directed behavior in dynamic social contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empathy and compassion
Tania Singer,Olga Klimecki +1 more
TL;DR: In empathy one feels with someone, but one does not confuse oneself with the other; that is, one still knows that the emotion one resonates with is the emotion of another, and if this self-other distinction is not present, the precursor of empathy that is already present in babies is spoken.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural responses to ingroup and outgroup members' suffering predict individual differences in costly helping
TL;DR: It is concluded that empathy-related insula activation can motivate costly helping, whereas an antagonistic signal in nucleus accumbens reduces the propensity to help.
