Well, it amazes me that envy is what can be triggered in the brain even with a term given to it schadenfreude. All this while I believed its just an emotional thing.
But I have a question, is it possible for homicide section of the police to measure the activities at the ventral striatum of the brain while investigating a murder suspect that is connected his/her victim just like Cain and Abel?
I will also say that this evil withing human is dangerous and I don't think that human can handle it without a great help possibly from his creator, because why on earth will someone derive pleasure from the misfortune of the fellow he is envious of ?. @abigael-dantes, this is a great piece.😘😘
My dearest @steepup :D How wonderful to see you here!
Ok, let's just clarify a few things here :)
schadenfreude is not a neuropsychological term for envy. Rather it is a rewarding feeling that positively correlate to envy. For example, the more we envy someone, the more intense the pleasure we feel to see them undergoing tribulations, and that is schadenfreude. Ok? :)
The mechanisms of envy itself is seen on the dACC area.
Anyone can have their ventral striatum activity measured by means of an fMRI. But, my guess is that it would be quite costly to implement that in homicidal departments of the police force.
As well as you, I do find very intriguing as well that within our brains there is a mechanism that rewards us at the expense of another's misfortunes. Human are truly incredibly complex beings!
