brain stimulation to disrupt a
brain region called the temporoparietal junction (TPJ), people appeared less able to see things from the point of view of their future selves or of another person, and consequently were less likely to share money with
others and more inclined to opt for immediate cash instead of waiting for a larger bounty
at a later date.

Monkeys typically find
other monkeys impossible to ignore, and this experiment was no exception: the monkeys often failed
at the reward task because they looked
at the faces, especially if the faces depicted emotion.When humans are torn between paying attention to two different things, it triggers a «conflict» circuit in a
brain region called the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) which is part of a larger
brain structure controlling rational thought and emotions.Using a tiny sensor implanted in the dACCs of the monkeys, Platt's group was able to measure the electrical activity of single neurons.
