Analysis of effective connectivity between brain areas suggests that touch influences unimodal visual cortex via back-projections from multimodal parietal areas, which provides a neural explanation for crossmodal links in spatial attention.

It is found that the vestibular network was selectively engaged when acceleration was consistent with natural gravity, demonstrating that predictive mechanisms of physical laws of motion are represented in the human brain.

These findings highlight the close link between groupābased segregation and empathic processing and demonstrate the relative influence of culturally acquired implicit attitudes and perceived similarity/familiarity with the target in shaping emotional responses to others' physical pain.

Deontological and altruistic guilt: Evidence for distinct neurobiological substrates
- B. Basile, F. Mancini, E. Macaluso, C. Caltagirone, Richard S. J. Frackowiak, M. Bozzali

It is shown that guilty emotions, compared to anger and sadness, activate specific brain areas and that different neuronal networks are involved in each specific kind of guilt, with the insula selectively responding to deontological guilt stimuli.
Neural basis of maternal communication and emotional expression processing during infant preverbal stage.

It is found that the mirror neuron system, the insula and amygdala were more active during emotional expressions, that this circuit is engaged to a greater extent when interacting with one's own child, and that it is correlated with maternal reflective function (a measure of empathy).
Supramodal Effects of Covert Spatial Orienting Triggered by Visual or Tactile Events
- E. Macaluso, C. Frith, J. Driver
- Psychology, BiologyJournal of Cognitive Neuroscience
- 1 April 2002
Results identify a supramodal network for spatial attention and reveal differential activity for inferior circuits involving the temporo-parietal junction and inferior frontal cortex (specific to invalid trials) versus more superior intraparietal-frontal circuits (common to valid and invalid trials).
