"Mirror neurons are a specific class of neurons that respond when an individual performs a given action and when s/he observes a similar action performed by others. There is now a general consensus that there are at least two mirror neuron systems, one located on the lateral convexity on the brain, the other in the insula and in the cingulate cortex. The first translates observed actions devoid of any emotional content into the corresponding motor representations, while the second converts emotional behaviours into the corresponding viscero-motor responses (Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia 2008a)."

"Thinking about someone from each category corresponded to a different activity pattern in the mPFC: one for the self, one for the social network (both friends and acquaintances), and one for celebrities. The closer the relationship, the more the pattern resembled the pattern seen when thinking about the self."

"Empathy toward the distress of others is thought to motivate helping behaviour, in the form of voluntary action to eliminate that distress. Neuropeptide oxytocin is associated with various social cognitive abilities, including empathy and prosocial behaviour. The anterior cingulate cortex is known to be one of the brain regions underlying empathy, and one in which oxytocin receptors are expressed."

"To examine the relationship between Perfectionism and self-esteem in a sample of athletes, 56 students (33 males, 23 females) from the University of Tehran were included in this study. All participants were asked to complete Farsi version of the Positive and Negativ Perfectionism Scale (FPANPS) and Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory (SEI). The results showed that positive Perfectionism was positively associated with self-esteem and negative Perfectionism was negatively associated with self-esteem. Positive Perfectionism is supposed to increase level of self-esteem through enhancement of “self-competence” and “selfacceptance”.aonversely negative Perfectionism is supposed to decrease level of self-esteem through reducing “self-competence” and “self-accepatnce”, as well as developing or intensify psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, and personality or interpersonal problems."

"Together, these results suggest that emotional information modulates neural processing within ventral sensory processing streams, but not dorsal processing streams. These findings are discussed with respect to current models of emotional and sensory processing, including amygdala connections to sensory cortices and emotional effects on cognition and behaviour."

"A large body of brain imaging research highlights a set of specific regions in the limbic, insular and prefrontal cortex as sensitive to static visual images of high emotional content. Here we report that when using more naturalistic stimuli (short audio–visual video clips) the most selective cortical loci demonstrating preferential activation to emotional content were centered on the dorsal, action related, stream of visual areas. Subjects underwent fMRI scanning while watching a set of highly emotional as well as neutral video clips. Following the scan, clips were rated by each subject for emotional arousal and valence. Surprisingly, activity in dorsal stream visual areas (such as IPS and SPL) showed the highest preference to emotional arousal compared to all other brain areas. In contrast, ventral stream visual areas showed a significantly weaker emotional preference. Control experiments ruled out low level visual or auditory cues as contributing factors to this effect. Furthermore, the specific spatial pattern of emotion-related activations was incompatible with general arousal or attentional effects. Given the established role of dorsal stream visual areas in action-related functions, these results support the long held hypothesis associating emotion with preparation for action."

"A growing body of evidence suggests that the amygdala is central to handling the demands of complex social life in primates. In this paper, we synthesize extant anatomical and functional data from rodents, monkeys, and humans to describe the topography of three partially distinct large-scale brain networks anchored in the amygdala that each support unique functions for effectively managing social interactions and maintaining social relationships."

"A social network is a web that integrates multiple levels of interindividual social relationships and has direct associations with an individual’s health and well-being. Previous research has mainly focused on how brain and social network structures (structural properties) act on each other and on how the brain supports the spread of ideas and behaviors within social networks (functional properties). The structure of the social network is correlated with activity in the amygdala, which links decoding and interpreting social signals and social values. The structure also relies on the mentalizing network, which is central to an individual’s ability to infer the mental states of others. Network functional properties depend on multilayer brain-social networks, indicating that information transmission is supported by the default mode system, the valuation system, and the mentalizing system. From the perspective of neuroendocrinology, overwhelming evidence shows that variations in oxytocin, β-endorphin and dopamine receptor genes, including oxytocin receptor (OXTR), mu opioid receptor 1 (OPRM1) and dopamine receptor 2 (DRD2), predict an individual’s social network structure, whereas oxytocin also contributes to improved transmission of emotional and behavioral information from person to person. Overall, previous studies have comprehensively revealed the effects of the brain, endocrine system, and genes on social networks. Future studies are required to determine the effects of cognitive abilities, such as memory, on social networks, the characteristics and neural mechanism of social networks in mental illness and how social networks change over time through the use of longitudinal methods."
"The egocentric network and sociocentric network describe the network structure from micro level and macro level, respectively. Therefore, these two different network indicators may reflect different brain areas and brain activities. Future studies should explore the sociocentric network to supplement the neural basis of social network at the macro level."

"Attachment theory, developed by Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby about seventy years ago, has become one of the most influential and comprehensive contemporary psychology theories. It predicts that early social interactions with significant others shape the emergence of distinct self- and other-representations, the latter affecting how we initiate and maintain social relationships across the lifespan. A person's attachment history will therefore associate with inter-individual differences in emotional and cognitive mechanisms sustaining representations, modeling, and understanding of others on the biological and brain level."

"Humans with amygdalae that are more strongly connected to brain regions important for social perception and affiliation also have larger and more complex social networks. These findings begin to suggest the mechanisms that support larger and more complex social networks. More connected individuals might be better equipped to perceive social cues like facial expression and be more motivated to or receive more reward from responding to these cues in a manner that promotes social affiliation. A limitation in the present investigation and all similar human studies to date is that their design precludes causal inferences: we do not yet know whether these structural and functional properties of the social brain are inborn and thus endow an individual with the propensity to be more gregarious or whether they are potentially modifiable by experience. A recent study in monkeys suggests that brain structure changes with social experience (Sallet et al., 2011), although this conclusion is not firm because the monkeys were not randomly assigned to cages for living groups of different sizes. A parsing of social function into specific processes subserved by distinct brain networks will enable future research to focus on how these psychological processes and their neural correlates not only differ among healthy adults but also how they fail to develop or disintegrate in neuropsychiatric conditions marked by social impairment like autism, antisocial personality disorder, and frontotemporal dementia."

This article considers two recent lines of research concerned with the construction of imagined or simulated events that can provide insight into the relationship between memory and decision making. One line of research concerns episodic future thinking, which involves simulating episodes that might occur in one’s personal future, and the other concerns episodic counterfactual thinking, which involves simulating episodes that could have happened in one’s personal past. We first review neuroimaging studies that have examined the neural underpinnings of episodic future thinking and episodic counterfactual thinking. We argue that these studies have revealed that the two forms of episodic simulation engage a common core network including medial parietal, prefrontal, and temporal regions that also supports episodic memory. We also note that neuroimaging studies have documented neural differences between episodic future thinking and episodic counterfactual thinking, including differences in hippocampal responses. We next consider behavioral studies that have delineated both similarities and differences between the two kinds of episodic simulation. The evidence indicates that episodic future and counterfactual thinking are characterized by similarly reduced levels of specific detail compared with episodic memory, but that the effects of repeatedly imagining a possible experience have sharply contrasting effects on the perceived plausibility of those events during episodic future thinking versus episodic counterfactual thinking. Finally, we conclude by discussing the functional consequences of future and counterfactual simulations for decisions.

FIGURE 1. Characteristics of the shift from goal-directed to habitual behavior. (A) Left: Goal-directed and habitual behaviors are competitive processes that act in balance. Goal-directed behavior is characterized by a high requirement for attention, is highly contingent on present reward value, and demonstrates flexibility of responding. Habitual behavior is stimulus-driven, less dependent on present reward value, and governed by behavioral automaticity. Right: Addiction/compulsion represents an extreme state of habit. (B) The transition from goal-directed behavior to habitual behavior and then into compulsion, or addiction is graded. Shift from goal-directed to habitual behavior and then to compulsion/addiction corresponds to strengthened stimulus-response association and reduced action-outcome contingency. These processes are bidirectional, i.e., a behavior can shift on the spectrum from goal-directed to habitual performance, and back again—though in the extremes of addiction whether it is possible to return fully to habit/goal-directed states is less clear. (C) During instrumental training, rates of responding for a reward increase. Post-training reward devaluation reduces response rates more quickly for goal-directed behaviors than it does for habitual behaviors, which take many more extinction trials to fully dissipate. The extremes of addiction are characterized by compulsive responding that is resistant even to punishment. (D) The balance between goal-directed and habitual behavioral states corresponds to relative levels of neural activity in the dorsomedial (DMS) vs. dorsolateral (DLS) striatum. (E) Task-bracketing activity pattern emerges in the DLS as animals are over-trained on a rewarded behavioral sequence (e.g., running a T-maze for a tasty reward). Spiny Projection Neurons (SPNs) exhibit high activity at the beginning of a learned motor sequence and again at the end as the animal approaches the reward. Fast-spiking interneurons (FSIs) exhibit high activity during the middle stages of a behavioral sequence.
