What's familiarity got to do with it? Neural mechanisms of observational fear in siblings and strangers

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debate

Abstract

Social modulation of pain sensitivity is considered part of the empathic response. In this issue of Neuron, Zhang at al. (2022) uncover the neurobiological basis of observational pain in mice. They report increased synaptic transmission from the insular cortex to the basolateral amygdala and explore genes mediating this effect.
