道德上明智的行为构成了人类社会性的结构。在这里，我们试图研究与道德思想的不同方面相关的神经活动。先前的研究表明，道德决策的认知和情感来源可能与心理理论（一种抽象认知技能）和移情（一种快速情感技能）密切相关。也就是说，道德决定被认为是至关重要的是指其他人的意图和行为结果的代表，以及（间接体验）的情绪状态。因此，我们假设，道德决定可能是在参与“心理理论”和移情的大脑区域中实施的。通过对神经影像学研究进行大规模激活似然估计（ALE）荟萃分析来验证这一假设，该分析评估了来自1,790名参与者的247项实验的2,607个峰值坐标。持续参与道德决策的大脑区域显示出更多的趋同性，ALE分析的目标是心理理论与同理心。更具体地说，道德和共情之间的神经地形重叠不利于情感分享在道德决策中的作用。最终，我们的结果提供了证据，表明道德决策背后的神经网络可能是全局域的，并且可能可分离为认知和情感子系统。本文的在线版本（doi：10.1007/s 00429 -012-0380-y）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
Morally judicious behavior forms the fabric of human sociality. Here, we sought to investigate neural activity associated with different facets of moral thought. Previous research suggests that the cognitive and emotional sources of moral decisions might be closely related to theory of mind, an abstract-cognitive skill, and empathy, a rapid-emotional skill. That is, moral decisions are thought to crucially refer to other persons’ representation of intentions and behavioral outcomes as well as (vicariously experienced) emotional states. We thus hypothesized that moral decisions might be implemented in brain areas engaged in ‘theory of mind’ and empathy. This assumption was tested by conducting a large-scale activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies, which assessed 2,607 peak coordinates from 247 experiments in 1,790 participants. The brain areas that were consistently involved in moral decisions showed more convergence with the ALE analysis targeting theory of mind versus empathy. More specifically, the neurotopographical overlap between morality and empathy disfavors a role of affective sharing during moral decisions. Ultimately, our results provide evidence that the neural network underlying moral decisions is probably domain-global and might be dissociable into cognitive and affective sub-systems.
