Coralie Chevallier,Gregor Kohls,Vanessa Troiani,Vanessa Troiani,Edward S. Brodkin,Robert T. Schultz,Robert T. Schultz +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ASD can be construed as an extreme case of diminished social motivation and, as such, provides a powerful model to understand humans' intrinsic drive to seek acceptance and avoid rejection.

Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies
TL;DR: In this paper, Bostrom's work picks its way carefully through a vast tract of forbiddingly difficult intellectual terrain, and the writing is so lucid that it somehow makes it all seem easy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neuroscience of empathy: progress, pitfalls and promise
Jamil Zaki,Kevin N. Ochsner +1 more
TL;DR: This work takes stock of the notable progress made by early research in characterizing the neural systems supporting two empathic sub-processes: sharing others' internal states and explicitly considering those states and describes methodological and conceptual pitfalls into which this work has sometimes fallen.

Balance of brain oxytocin and vasopressin: implications for anxiety, depression, and social behaviors
Inga D. Neumann,Rainer Landgraf +1 more
TL;DR: Shifting the balance between the neuropeptide systems towards oxytocin, by positive social stimuli and/or psychopharmacotherapy, may help to improve emotional behaviors and reinstate mental health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loneliness: Clinical Import and Interventions
TL;DR: Assessments of loneliness are reviewed and there is increasing evidence for the potential efficacy of integrated interventions that combine (social) cognitive behavioral therapy with short-term adjunctive pharmacological treatments.

Oxytocin and cooperation under conditions of uncertainty: The modulating role of incentives and social information

Relation of oxytocin to psychological stress responses and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis activity in older women.
Shelley E. Taylor,Gian C. Gonzaga,Laura Cousino Klein,Peifeng Hu,Gail A. Greendale,Teresa E. Seeman +5 more
TL;DR: In women, plasma OT signals relationship stress and is associated with elevated cortisol; it does not appear to significantly affect cortisol or blood pressure responses to acute stress.

Associations between the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) and affect, loneliness and intelligence in normal subjects.
Michael Lucht,Sven Barnow,Christine Sonnenfeld,Albert Rosenberger,Hans Joergen Grabe,Winnie Schroeder,Henry Völzke,Harald J. Freyberger,Falko H. Herrmann,Heyo K. Kroemer,Dieter Rosskopf +10 more
TL;DR: A role for the oxytocin receptor haplotypes in the generation of affectivity, emotional loneliness and IQ is supported, and polymorphisms of the OXTR rs53576, rs2254298 and rs2228485 are associated with positive affect, negative affect and emotional loneliness.

Effects of Oxytocin and Prosocial Behavior on Brain Responses to Direct and Vicariously Experienced Pain
Tania Singer,Romana Snozzi,Geoffrey Bird,Predrag Petrovic,Giorgia Silani,Markus Heinrichs,Raymond J. Dolan +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that selfish individuals may not be as rational and unemotional as usually suggested, their actions being determined by their feeling anxious rather than by reason.
