Temporarily suppressing the pre-cortique can really make people more generous.

Two recent neuroscience studies have also shown that our brains are more likely to let us be generous than to be hairless.
first experiment, researchers scanned the subjects' brains to determine the relationship between human generosity and activity in specific brain regions.
in a second experiment, the researchers inhibited brain region activity that controls impulses to see if this processing alters a person's ability to empathy, an ability to understand the feelings of others.
the researchers concluded from the results of both experiments that human behavior is more guided by generosity and commonality than self-interest.
In addition, these studies offer new ideas for treating patients with "understanding others": Co-author Marco Iacoboni, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine, said that by regulating the patients' neural pathfpaths, we can enhance or inhibit their empathy to treat patients with sociocognitive disorders.
brain activity In the first experiment, researchers looked at subjects' brain activity by imaging while testing their generosity.
specifically, the researchers asked subjects to watch videos of their hands being needled, and then showed them photos that mimicked the facial expressions of the people in the photos, recording their brain activity in both processes.
the experiment could help researchers find out which subjects were more active in identifying other people's painful brain regions.
, the researchers gave the subjects a sum of money, and the subjects were able to select the recipient from the list provided by the researchers according to their own ideas and donate a certain amount of money to him.
the researchers predicted a correlation between the amount of money the subjects were willing to donate and how strongly they were active in the brain regions associated with watching other people's pain, and in fact, Iacoboni said, they did get the results.
also found that the pre-cortique, which controls emotions, was most active in the tests.
same time, the brain regions responsible for perceiving the emotions and pain of others and for thinking differently were also more active in the tests.
study was published online February 1 in Human Brain Mapping.
Leonardo Christov-Moore, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Los Angeles and another co-author of the study, said: "The way these brain regions work seems to follow a 'neural gold rule': the more we think about other people's situations, the more likely we are to treat them like we are.
" Suppressive Emotion Control Iacoboni told interviewers from Live Science that electrical stimulation inhibits or enhances activity in specific brain regions, so in the second experiment, they used electricity to stimulate specific brain regions to explore whether humans are generous in nature for the good of others, and that selfishness is only the product of human civilization and learned behavior.
Iacoboni said: "We can observe what happens when a brain region is not working by temporarily suppressing activity in that brain region, or temporarily increase the excitement of a brain region to see what changes this action can bring."
" researchers suspect that the pre-cortical region inhibits the ability of humans to empathy In experiments, the researchers temporarily inhibited activity in parts of the pre-cortical cortical region, which they suspect generally inhibits human empathy.
Iacobani said, in other words, they wanted to confirm that activities that inhibited this part of the pre-cortique could lead subjects to donate more money.
their experimental design, the subjects experienced a 40-second transcranial magnetic stimulation, in which an electromagnetic coil was placed near the subject's head to deliver current to a specific brain region.
experiments, the researchers inhibited activity in two specific areas of the pre-cortique, temporarily removing its ability to regulate impulses.
, like the first experiment, the subjects were given a certain amount of money and asked to allocate the amount according to their wishes.
study showed that temporarily suppressing the pre-cortical cortical system can indeed make people more generous - subjects in the experimental group were more generous and donated 50 per cent more money than those in the control group.
study was published online March 21 in Social Neuroscience.
in these areas of the forehead cortique seems to release human-like nature," Christov-Moore, a former U.S. official, said in a report.
is the cornerstone of social cognition, so in theory, improving empathy can improve people's social cognition, " says Iacoboni.
that we can change our empathy by regulating the brain regions that control social behavior, which makes a lot of sense.
