22 Crockett describes neuroscience research on compassion especially what happens when someone doesn't choose compassion. She describes how compassion is registered by the nervous system initially as a stress response and names 4 benefits of compassion. She says the research shows you'll get more benefit if you can choose the compassionate response (at the appropriate time and circumstance) over suppressing feelings or doing a cost benefit analysis. She explains a crucial moment in the circuitry of compassion is after the insula and amygdala have signaled "something important is happening here" but before the prefrontal cortex steps in to allocate resources and activate those care nurturance pathways. She ends mentioning three benefits of improved executive functioning, increased dopamine reward pathway, and calmed amygdala and encourages listeners, especially on Thanksgiving today, to try out compassion. This is because neurons that fire together, wire together, and the more one learns that compassion brings about these positive benefits, the more one engages in it.
