Summary:The disclosure pertains to methods for modifying empathy in a subject, such as a human, by modulating type 2 theta oscillations in a brain region of the subject. The methods include increasing empathy in a subject, such as a human, by increasing type 2 theta oscillations in a brain region of the subject, thereby increasing empathy in the subject. The human subject may have a psychiatric or neurological condition that causes suboptimal empathy. Modulating type 2 theta oscillations in a brain region of a subject can be accomplished by optogenetic treatment, electric stimulation of a brain region, administration of a pharmaceutical drug, or a combination thereof. Also provided are systems for performing the methods disclosed herein.
