Intro -- FROM DNA TO SOCIAL COGNITION -- CONTENTS -- CONTRIBUTORS -- INTRODUCTION -- PART 1: EMPATHY: NEURAL BASES AND GENETIC CORRELATES -- 1.1 GENES RELATED TO AUTISTIC TRAITS AND EMPATHY -- 1.2 THE BEHAVIORAL GENETICS OF HUMAN PAIR BONDING -- 1.3 BRAIN NETWORKS SUPPORTING EMPATHY -- 1.4 THE HUMAN MIRROR NEURON SYSTEM AND SOCIAL COGNITION -- 1.5 MOTIVATIONAL ASPECTS OF FUTURE THINKING IN THE VENTROMEDIAL PREFRONTAL CORTEX -- PART 2: MORAL NEUROSCIENCE AND EMOTION -- 2.1 CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX TO SOCIAL COGNITION AND MORAL JUDGMENT PROCESSES -- 2.2 EMOTION AND MORAL COGNITION -- 2.3 THE NEUROANATOMICAL BASIS OF MORAL COGNITION AND EMOTION -- 2.4 ENVY AND SCHADENFREUDE: THE NEURAL CORRELATES OF COMPETITIVE EMOTIONS -- PART 3: GENES AND DECISION MAKING -- 3.1 THE SOMATIC MARKER FRAMEWORK AND THE NEUROLOGICAL BASIS OF DECISION MAKING -- 3.2 A MODEL OF THE INITIAL STAGES OF DRUG ABUSE: FROM REINFORCEMENT LEARNING TO SOCIAL CONTAGION -- 3.3 EXTRINSIC EFFECTS AND MODELS OF DOMINANCE HIERARCHY FORMATION -- 3.4 COMPLEX SOCIAL COGNITION AND THE APPRECIATION OF SOCIAL NORMS IN PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS: INSIGHTS FROM EVOLUTIONARY GAME THEORY -- 3.5 FROM NEUROECONOMICS TO GENETICS: THE INTERTEMPORAL CHOICES CASE AS AN EXAMPLE -- INDEX.
Summary: Decision-making is an integral part of our daily lives. Researchers seek a complete understanding of the decision-making process, including the biological and social basis and the impact of our decisions. From DNA to Social Cognition fills a gap in the literature that brings together the methods, perspectives, and knowledge of the geneticists, neuroscientists, economists, and psychologists that are integral to this field of research. The editors' unique expertise ensures an integrated and complete compilation of materials that will prove useful to researchers and scientists interested in social cognition and decision-making.
