Human fronto–mesolimbic networks guide decisions about charitable donation
TLDR
Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used while participants anonymously donated to or opposed real charitable organizations related to major societal causes to show that the mesolimbic reward system is engaged by donations in the same way as when monetary rewards are obtained.

The Neural Correlates of Moral Sensitivity: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Investigation of Basic and Moral Emotions
TLDR
It is suggested that the automatic tagging of ordinary social events with moral values may be an important mechanism for implicit social behaviors in humans.

Social concepts are represented in the superior anterior temporal cortex
TLDR
The results demonstrate that the superior anterior temporal cortex plays a key role in social cognition by providing abstract conceptual knowledge of social behaviors and further speculate that these abstract conceptual representations can be associated with different contexts of social actions and emotions through integration with frontolimbic circuits to enable flexible evaluations of social behavior.

Neural correlates of trust
TLDR
It is shown that the paracingulate cortex is critically involved in building a trust relationship by inferring another person's intentions to predict subsequent behavior, and an examination of functional brain activity supports the hypothesis that the preferential activation of different neuronal systems implements these two trust strategies.

The neural basis of human moral cognition
TLDR
A cognitive neuroscience view of how cultural and context-dependent knowledge, semantic social knowledge and motivational states can be integrated to explain complex aspects of human moral cognition is proposed.

The Moral Affiliations of Disgust: A Functional MRI Study
TLDR
Results indicated that emotional stimuli may evoke pure disgust with or without indignation, and these different aspects of the experience of disgust could be elicited by a set of written statements, and pure disgust and indignation recruited both overlapping and distinct brain regions, mainly in the frontal and temporal lobes.

The neural basis of human social values: evidence from functional MRI.
TLDR
The results demonstrate that social values emerge from coactivation of stable abstract social conceptual representations in the superior aTL and context-dependent moral sentiments encoded in fronto-mesolimbic regions.

Functional MRI correlates of real and imagined tool-use pantomimes
TLDR
Pantomiming the use of tools is associated with activation of the left intraparietal cortex and dorsolateral frontal cortex, which may store the representations of tool-use formulae and reflect the switching between innervatory motor programs.

Functional Networks in Emotional Moral and Nonmoral Social Judgments
TLDR
It is found that a network comprising the medial orbitofrontal cortex, the temporal pole and the superior temporal sulcus of the left hemisphere was specifically activated by moral judgments.

The self as a moral agent: Linking the neural bases of social agency and moral sensitivity
TLDR
Findings indicate that agency related to norm-abiding social behaviors of emotionally neutral scripts share neural substrates both with the “default mode” of brain function and with the moral sensitivity network.
