Meta-analysis of fMRI studies of empathy processing. A: Empathy for all three emotions examined (pain, negative, positive). B: Empathy for pain. C: Empathy for negative emotions. D: Empathy for positive emotions. Color intensity represents ALE value. Note that AIC bilaterally are commonly involved in all conditions (x = −38 and 38) and that ACC is involved in all but empathy for positive emotions. See Tables (2–5) for details regarding coordinates and ALE values.
