The present work revolves around the phenomena and neural mechanisms underlying the human capability to empathize with others’ pain. It will be shown that observing or imaging others’ pain brings about the activation of neural structures largely overlapping with those activated during the experience of pain on oneself and that neural structures involved in both emotional and sensorimotor processing may be recruited during empathy for pain.

Abstract

The present work revolves around the phenomena and neural mechanisms underlying the human capability to empathize with others’ pain. It will be shown that observing or imaging others’ pain brings about the activation of neural structures largely overlapping with those activated during the experience of pain on oneself and that neural structures involved in both emotional and sensorimotor processing may be recruited during empathy for pain.
