Neural basis of empathy

Empathy is a fundamental component of social interaction and plays a crucial role in our ability to understand and relate to others. The neural basis of empathy involves a complex network of brain regions and circuits, including the anterior cingulate cortex, insula, and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Recent research has contributed to significant progress in understanding the neural mechanisms of empathy, including neuroimaging advancements and a growing understanding of the role of neurochemicals like oxytocin. This article examines empathy-related concepts, including cognitive and affective empathy, sympathy, empathy-related disorders, intergroup relations, healthcare, education, leadership, and mental health.
