Cross-modal representations of first-hand and vicarious pain, disgust and fairness in insular and cingulate cortex
Cognitive and affective theory of mind share the same local patterns of activity in posterior temporal but not medial prefrontal cortex
Understanding emotions in others engages specific brain regions in temporal and medial prefrontal cortices. These activations are often …
