«Homo reciprocans» from the neuroscientific literature

Abstract

The present work has a twofold objective: firstly, to critically trace the concept of reciprocity used in neuroscientific studies, particularly from the domain of neuroeconomics; and secondly, to specify the normative frame from which human reciprocity can be defined, from which philosophical neuroethics can develop, and to identify plausible ways to promote it through brain stimulation in order to impact the epigenetic footprint by reinforcing cordial reciprocity.
