👉 Alan Research, led by neuroscientist Andrew Alan, focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying social cognition and empathy. Their work often involves using advanced neuroimaging techniques, such as functional MRI (fMRI), to study brain activity in response to social stimuli. A key aspect of their research is exploring how specific brain regions, particularly those involved in emotional processing and theory of mind, contribute to our ability to empathize with others and navigate complex social interactions. Alan Research has made significant contributions to identifying the neural correlates of empathy, including the role of the anterior cingulate cortex and the medial prefrontal cortex, and has also investigated how these processes can be disrupted in conditions like autism spectrum disorder. Their findings aim to deepen our understanding of social behavior and inform therapeutic approaches for social cognitive deficits.
