人类社会存在的特点是直觉的公平感，关心他人，遵守文化规范。这种亲社会敏感性是成人道德的基础，源于情感、动机和认知机制在整个发展过程中的复杂整合。在这篇文章中，我们讨论了一个综合的神经发育方法如何帮助我们理解道德判断和行为。我们研究了强调情感在道德发展中的重要性的数据，我们认为道德认知是由特定的，但不是唯一的，神经网络支撑的。在道德认知中招募的区域是特定情绪状态的基础，沿着认知和动机过程，这些过程在发展过程中出现并相互联系，产生适应性社会行为。
Human social existence is characterized by an intuitive sense of fairness, concern for others, and the observance of cultural norms. This prosocial sensitivity is the foundation for adult morality, emanating from the sophisticated integration of emotional, motivational, and cognitive mechanisms across development. In this article, we discuss how an integrated neurodevelopmental approach helps us understand moral judgment and behavior. We examine data emphasizing the importance of affect in moral development and we suggest that moral cognition is underpinned by specific, although not unique, neural networks. The regions recruited in moral cognition underlie specific states of emotion, along with cognitive and motivational processes, which emerge and interconnect over the course of development to produce adaptive social behavior.
