In a new Northwestern Medicine study, scientists sought to better
understand how humans evolved to become so skilled at thinking about
what's happening in other peoples' minds. The findings could have
implications for one day treating psychiatric conditions such as
anxiety and depression.

The study found the more recently evolved and advanced parts of the
human brain that support social interactions—called the social
cognitive network—are connected to and in constant communication with
an ancient part of the brain called the amygdala.
