This document is Page 88 of a scientific text or academic paper included in a House Oversight Committee file dump (labeled HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021334). The text discusses the neuroscience and psychology of empathy, specifically focusing on self-regulation, the perception of pain in others, and neural circuits (such as the medial prefrontal cortices, ACC, and anterior insula). It references studies involving both rodents and human MRI scans to explain how empathy and pain perception function biologically.
