Abstract

Inequity aversion (negative feelings induced by outcome differences between the self and other) plays a key role in human social behaviors. The neurotransmitters oxytocin and GABA have been implicated in neural responses to inequity. However, it remains poorly understood not only how individual genetic factors related to oxytocin and GABA affect the neural mechanisms behind inequity aversion, but also how these genes interact. To address these issues, we examined relationships between genotypes, behavioral decisions and brain activities during the ultimatum game. We identified interactive effects between the polymorphisms of the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) and glutamate decarboxylase 1 gene for GABA synthesis (GAD1) on envy aversion (i.e., disadvantageous inequity aversion) and on envy-induced activity in the dorsal ACC (dACC). Thus, our integrated approach suggested interactive genetic effects between OXTR and GAD1 on envy aversion and the underlying neural substrates.

  • Individuals with higher scores on a jealousy scale have increased activity in the IC and ACC and enhanced functional connectivity between the inferior frontal gyrus and dorsal striatum in response to threatening faces.

    “There are few studies examining brain regions involved in jealousy; however, fMRI reveals that individuals with higher scores on a jealousy scale have increased activity in the IC and ACC and enhanced functional connectivity between the inferior frontal gyrus and dorsal striatum in response to threatening faces [160,161].”

    From The Neurobiology of Love and Pair Bonding from Human and Animal Perspectives (2023) · cites this paper as [161]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) lists the insula and ACC among regions involved in inequity aversion, and the Discussion reports envy-related dACC activity during an ultimatum game. The paper does not support the more specific claim about jealousy-scale scores, responses to threatening faces, or enhanced connectivity between the inferior frontal gyrus and dorsal striatum.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
