Abstract

Empathy is usually regarded as the ability to perceive the emotional state of others, which is an altruistic motivation to promote prosocial behavior and thus plays a key role in human life and social development. Empathic pain-the capacity to feel and understand the pain of others-constitutes a significant aspect in the study of empathy behaviors. For an extended duration, investigations into empathic pain have predominantly centered on human neuroimaging studies. Fortunately, recent advancements have witnessed the utilization of animal models in the exploration of the fundamental neural underpinnings of empathic pain. There is substantial evidence implicating multiple brain regions and neural networks in the generation and maintenance of empathic pain. Nevertheless, further elucidation of the neural mechanisms underlying empathic pain is warranted. This review provides a concise overview of prior studies on the neural mechanisms of empathic pain, outlining the pertinent brain regions, neural pathways, synaptic mechanisms, and associated molecules while also delving into future prospects.

共鸣痛:潜在的神经机制
移情通常被认为是感知他人情绪状态的能力,是促进亲社会行为的利他动机,因此在人类生活和社会发展中起着关键作用。移情痛苦--感受和理解他人痛苦的能力--是移情行为研究的一个重要方面。长期以来,对共情痛的研究主要集中在人类神经影像学研究上。幸运的是,最近的进步见证了利用动物模型探索移情痛的基本神经基础。有大量证据表明,共情痛的产生和维持与多个脑区和神经网络有关。尽管如此,我们仍有必要进一步阐明移情痛的神经机制。这篇综述简明扼要地概述了之前关于移情痛神经机制的研究,概述了相关的脑区、神经通路、突触机制和相关分子,同时还深入探讨了未来的前景。
