TLDR
Findings support the view that social cognition draws on both domain-general mechanisms and domain-specific embodied representations, and it will be argued that self-awareness and agency, mediated by the temporoparietal (TPJ) area and the prefrontal cortex, are critical aspects of the social mind.About:

Self-projection and the brain
TL;DR: It is speculated that envisioning the future (prospection), remembering the past, conceiving the viewpoint of others (theory of mind), and possibly some forms of navigation reflect the workings of the same core brain network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putting the Altruism Back into Altruism: The Evolution of Empathy
TL;DR: Empathy is an ideal candidate mechanism to underlie so-called directed altruism, i.e., altruism in response to anothers's pain, need, or distress, and the dynamics of the empathy mechanism agree with predictions from kin selection and reciprocal altruism theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The social neuroscience of empathy
Tania Singer,Claus Lamm +1 more
TL;DR: An in‐depth and critical discussion of the findings of recent studies showing that empathy is a highly flexible phenomenon, and that vicarious responses are malleable with respect to a number of factors.

The Neural Substrate of Human Empathy: Effects of Perspective-taking and Cognitive Appraisal
TL;DR: The view that humans' responses to the pain of others can be modulated by cognitive and motivational processes, which influence whether observing a conspecific in need of help will result in empathic concern, an important instigator for helping behavior, is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social cognition in schizophrenia
TL;DR: Empirical empathy is considered as an example of a complex social cognitive function that integrates several social processes and is impaired in schizophrenia, and interventions to improve social cognition in patients with this disorder are considered.

The Cognitive Neurosciences
TL;DR: The fourth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biologic underpinnings of complex cognition -the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological reality of the mind as discussed by the authors.

Premotor cortex and the recognition of motor actions.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the development of the lateral verbal communication system in man derives from a more ancient communication system based on recognition of hand and face gestures.
Research report Premotor cortex and the recognition of motor actions
TL;DR: In the monkey premotor cortex there are neurons that discharge both when the monkey performs an action and when he observes a similar action made by another monkey or by the experimenter as mentioned in this paper.

Empathy for Pain Involves the Affective but not Sensory Components of Pain
TL;DR: Only that part of the pain network associated with its affective qualities, but not its sensory qualities, mediates empathy, suggesting that the neural substrate for empathic experience does not involve the entire "pain matrix".
Journal ArticleDOI
Empathy: Its ultimate and proximate bases.
TL;DR: The Perception-Action Model (PAM), together with an understanding of how representations change with experience, can explain the major empirical effects in the literature and can also predict a variety of empathy disorders.
