Full Description
This exam assesses the cognitive neuroscience underlying empathy and altruistic behaviors. Key discussions will encompass the neural circuits engaged during empathic responses and acts of kindness.
Insufficient understanding of empathy and altruism can lead to societal deficits in cooperation and communal harmony. Exploring these neural underpinnings promotes enhanced interpersonal relations and community-building strategies.
Candidates will be expected to verbally articulate key neural pathways involved in empathic processes and describe their implications in social interactions.
Students should be prepared to link findings from brain research to broader societal themes, fostering a comprehensive understanding of emotional connections.
