Reward in the mirror neuron system, social context, and the implications on psychopathology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 April 2014
Abstract
Positive and negative reinforcers guide our behaviors as we interact with others in our social environment. Here, we present evidence that highlights a central role for reward in the general functioning of the mirror neuron system (MNS). We also discuss the relevance of reward-related modulation on other previous findings revealing certain properties of the MNS, and on social context and psychopathology.
