We are thrilled to share a new study from the lab on the neural mechanism of helping behavior. Humans and animals exhibit helping behavior toward others in need. In this study, we report an intriguing form of helping behavior that an individual exhibits toward others experiencing pain, and uncover the role of the anterior cingulate cortex in encoding and controlling this behavior. @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…
