Decoding the Role of the Insula in Human Cognition: Functional Parcellation and Large-Scale Reverse Inference
TL;DR: The present study suggests that the insula is instrumental in integrating disparate functional systems involved in processing affect, sensory-motor processing, and general cognition and is well suited to provide an interface between feelings, cognition, and action.
The Neuroscience of Social Decision-Making
James K. Rilling,Alan G. Sanfey +1 more
TL;DR: The role of the prefrontal cortex in prudent social decision-making, at least when social environments are relatively stable, is highlighted and recent progress has been made in understanding the neural bases of individual variation in social decided-making.

Social decision-making: insights from game theory and neuroscience.
TL;DR: These findings provide a fruitful starting point for improved models of social decision-making, informed by the formal mathematical approach of economics and constrained by known neural mechanisms.

Friend or foe: the effect of implicit trustworthiness judgments in social decision-making.
M. van ’t Wout,Alan G. Sanfey +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that implicit processing of trustworthiness is related to the degree to which participants cooperate with previously unknown partners is tested and data indicate that the perceivedTrustworthiness is a strong and important social cue that influences decision-making.

Luke J. Chang,Alec Smith,Alec Smith,Martin Dufwenberg,Martin Dufwenberg,Alan G. Sanfey,Alan G. Sanfey +6 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that a neural system previously implicated in expectation processing plays a critical role in assessing moral sentiments that in turn can sustain human cooperation in the face of temptation.
