Researchers look at people with rare disease, find brain region involved in generosity
NEW DELHI: (Apr 15) Studying a group of people with an affected ability to process emotions, researchers found a brain region that regulates generous behaviour -- the 'basolateral amygdala'.
Driven by a concern for society, prosocial or altruistic behaviour involves performing actions that intentionally benefit others and include sharing and cooperating.
The basolateral amygdala helps process the emotional part of information received via senses.
