abstract = {Morally judicious behavior forms the fabric of human
sociality. Here, we sought to investigate neural activity
associated with different facets of moral thought. Previous
research suggests that the cognitive and emotional sources
of moral decisions might be closely related to theory of
mind, an abstract-cognitive skill, and empathy, a
rapid-emotional skill. That is, moral decisions are thought
to crucially refer to other persons' representation of
intentions and behavioral outcomes as well as (vicariously
experienced) emotional states. We thus hypothesized that
moral decisions might be implemented in brain areas engaged
in 'theory of mind' and empathy. This assumption was tested
by conducting a large-scale activation likelihood estimation
(ALE) meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies, which assessed
2,607 peak coordinates from 247 experiments in 1,790
participants. The brain areas that were consistently
involved in moral decisions showed more convergence with the
ALE analysis targeting theory of mind versus empathy. More
specifically, the neurotopographical overlap between
morality and empathy disfavors a role of affective sharing
during moral decisions. Ultimately, our results provide
evidence that the neural network underlying moral decisions
is probably domain-global and might be dissociable into
cognitive and affective sub-systems.},
