A Review of the Neural Mechanisms and Improvement Measures of Prosocial Behavior
Through literature review,the neural mechanisms of prosocial behavior were sorted and summarized.The three neural networks that activate prosocial behavior are highlighted.Firstly,prosocial behavior activates the social cognitive network widely related to mentalization.Secondly,prosocial behavior is realized in the prominent network widely related to motivation and empathy.Finally,the information integration and decision-making process of prosocial behavior are completed under the cognitive control network.Based on the neural mechanism of prosocial behavior,intervention measures that may improve and promote the development of prosocial behavior are proposed.Training in mindfulness,empathy,and decision-making through music,meditation,situational simulation,and other methods can promote the development of prosocial behavior.
