Is emotional contagion special? An fMRI study on neural systems for affective and cognitive empathy.
375
TL;DR: This fMRI study tested if emotional versus cognitive empathy would facilitate the recruitment of brain networks involved in motor representation and imitation in healthy volunteers and suggested that emotional empathy is special.

Two systems for empathy: a double dissociation between emotional and cognitive empathy in inferior frontal gyrus versus ventromedial prefrontal lesions.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that emotional empathic abilities (involving the mirror neuron system) are distinct from those related to cognitive empathy and that the two depend on separate anatomical substrates is tested.

The Neural Bases for Empathy
TL;DR: Although the emotional and cognitive systems for empathy appear to work independently, every empathic response may still evoke both components to some extent, depending on the social context.

Mammalian empathy: behavioural manifestations and neural basis
TL;DR: The latest evidence from studies carried out across a wide range of species, including studies on yawn contagion, consolation, aid-giving and contagious physiological affect are discussed, and neuroscientific data on representations related to another's state is summarized.

Bodily maps of emotions
TL;DR: It is proposed that emotions are represented in the somatosensory system as culturally universal categorical somatotopic maps, and maps of bodily sensations associated with different emotions using a unique topographical self-report method.
Anterior Insular Cortex and Emotional Awareness
TL;DR: A model in which AIC serves two major functions: integrating bottom‐up interoceptive signals with top‐down predictions to generate a current awareness state and providing descending predictions to visceral systems that provide a point of reference for autonomic reflexes is proposed.

TL;DR: The STAI as mentioned in this paper is an indicator of two types of anxiety, the state and trait anxiety, and measure the severity of the overall anxiety level, which is appropriate for those who have at least a sixth grade reading level.

Psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory: Twenty-five years of evaluation
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the BDI's internal consistency estimates yielded a mean coefficient alpha of 0.86 for psychiatric patients and 0.81 for non-psychiatric subjects as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general approach that accommodates most forms of experimental layout and ensuing analysis (designed experiments with fixed effects for factors, covariates and interaction of factors).
The distributed human neural system for face perception.
TL;DR: A model for the organization of this system that emphasizes a distinction between the representation of invariant and changeable aspects of faces is proposed and is hierarchical insofar as it is divided into a core system and an extended system.

Empathy: Its ultimate and proximate bases.
TL;DR: The Perception-Action Model (PAM), together with an understanding of how representations change with experience, can explain the major empirical effects in the literature and can also predict a variety of empathy disorders.
