Out now in Nature Communications! 🎉 6 populations of real-world extraordinary altruists are best distinguished from typical adults by their unusually unselfish traits & decision-making patterns Kruti Vekaria Katie O'Connell Hannah S.

📢 Out now in PNAS Nexus w/ Abigail Marsh Katie O'Connell Katie Berluti Montana L. Ploe Hannah S. Elizabeth Paige Amormino Joanna Mary Ann Dutton @ashleyphd15 We characterize the neural basis of altruistic kidney donors' generosity for socially close and distant others doi.org/10.1093/pnasne…

Our new paper out in JAD - Others' social appraisals after viewing aversive films impact mood but not intrusive memories. Spearheaded by Lisa Espinosa. With Laura Singh Tabea Eimer and Emily Holmes! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Out today in Trends in Cognitive Sciences: Although empathy is sometimes thought to impede equitable altruism, Kyle Fiore Law, PhD Paige Amormino Brendan Bo O'Connor and I argue that empathy is compatible with rationality, and may even promote (not prevent) equitable giving. / sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very excited to share that our long time coming paper presenting our shared EEG dataset EMAP and some modelling of emotional arousal is published now: tinyurl.com/26j8yeah Great collaboration of many afcrinlab members over the years!

Interested in studying the neural and cognitive basis of empathy, altruism, and/or aggression? We have a lab manager opening in my lab Psychology @ Georgetown! Join us! Apply by sending a cover letter and CV to [email protected]

What happens if we see a picture of a lemon but get to smell a rose? In a new study, Stephen Pierzchajlo and Jonas Olofsson show that our sense of smell is largely influenced by cues from other senses such as our sight and hearing. Stephen Pierzchajlo @jokriolo SUBIC

Yes, our sense of smell is weak. But it compensates for its limited brain real estate by interacting with other senses. Stockholm University researchers share surprising insights Published in SfN Journals Research by Stephen Pierzchajlo @jokriolo Coverage by @CurlsPhD buff.ly/4aMuY6K

Our new paper on the interplay of oxytocin & sex hormones is now published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews 🎉 doi.org/10.1016/j.neub… We used evolutionary, developmental, mechanistic & survival perspectives to unravel how sex hormones facilitate oxytocin's diverse roles

My lab Georgetown University is seeking 1-2 post-doctoral scholars. Our lab offers a unique opportunity to work with both people with psychopathy and people who have engaged in extraordinary acts of altruism (and to conduct behavioral, MRI, and intervention research). Please r/t and share.

New open position for a full-time paid research assistant! Please share with potentially interested recent graduates... Email [email protected] with inquiries or applications (attach a CV and cover letter).

My lab Psychology @ Georgetown has lots of fun new projects lined up (behavioral and neuroimaging) on empathy, psychopathy, prosocial behavior, and aggression! We are accepting applications now for: • A paid RA • A post-doc • A PhD student Join us! For details: abigailmarsh.com/lab/
