Mammalian empathy: behavioural manifestations and neural basis
Recent research on empathy in humans and other mammals seeks to dissociate emotional
and cognitive empathy. These forms, however, remain interconnected in evolution, across …

From shared to distinct self–other representations in empathy: evidence from neurotypical function and socio-cognitive disorders
Neuroscientific research has identified two fundamental components of empathy: shared
emotional representations between self and other, and self–other distinction. The concept of …

Neurocomputational mechanisms of prosocial learning and links to empathy
Reinforcement learning theory powerfully characterizes how we learn to benefit ourselves.
