An Overview of the Moral Brain

One of the main topics in the discussion of biology in the 21st century is human progress and development, which has many advantages such as cognitive development and aesthetics. However, one of the important approaches in this field is "strengthening morality". A society with a majority of moral people is a historical dream for humanity. People differ from each other in terms of moral reasoning, but the process involved in these differences is somewhat known in the brain; In other words, the diversity of individuals in understanding moral values ​​may be related to regional changes in brain structure. This article reviews all the articles published in the last ten years in the field of ethics. This search was performed through the authoritative scientific databases of Google Scholar, Scopus and PubMed and the necessary information was extracted. Ethics is integrated at the level of performance, not at the cognitive level, meaning that there is no "moral core" and there is no definite area or structure that can demonstrate ethics or even the ideation and planning of moral behavior in an individual. Ethical information is processed in various areas of the brain, such as the temporal lobe, frontal lobe, and forehead, but morality can be thought of as a function of maximal integration with emotions, social cognition, and other sensitivities that organize cognitive structures. It depicts a common world of human relations and is applied in social life.
