Beyond revenge: neural and genetic bases of altruistic punishment.

NeuroImage - 1 Jan 2011

Strobel Alexander, Zimmermann Jan, Schmitz Anja, Reuter Martin, Lis Stefanie, Windmann Sabine, Kirsch Peter

Abstract excerpt

It is still debated how altruistic punishment as one form of strong reciprocity has established during evolution and which motives may underlie such behavior. Recent neuroscientific evidence on the activation of brain reward regions during altruistic punishment in two-person one-shot exchange games suggests satisfaction through the punishment of norm violations as one underlying motive. In order to address this...
