Social brains on drugs: tools for neuromodulation in social neuroscience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neuromodulators such as serotonin, oxytocin and testosterone play an important role in social behavior. Studies examining the effects of these neuromodulators and others on social cognition and behavior (and their neural underpinnings) are becoming increasingly common. Here, we provide an overview of methodological considerations for those wishing to evaluate or conduct empirical studies of neuromodulation in social neuroscience.

متن کاملCluster imaging of multi-brain networks (CIMBN): a general framework for hyperscanning and modeling a group of interacting brains
Studying the neural basis of human social interactions is a key topic in the field of social neuroscience. Brain imaging studies in this field usually focus on the neural correlates of the social interactions between two participants. However, as the participant number further increases, even by a small amount, great difficulties raise. One challenge is how to concurrently scan all the interact...
متن کاملUpdate on Neuromodulation for Treatment-Resistant Depression
About 30% of patients suffering from a major depressive disorder do not respond sufficiently to established pharmacological, psychotherapeutic, or somatic treatments. Advances in technology and emerging knowledge about the dysfunctional brain circuits underlying depression have led to the development of different neuromodulation techniques. The aim of the present review is to give an update on ...
متن کاملP81: Psychosocial Stress of Maternal Deprivation Enhanced Volume of Lateral Ventricle in Rat Brain
Brain areas implicated in the stress response include the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Neonatal stimulation of an animal by handling or by enhanced maternal care induces at adult age a decrease of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal (HPA) response to stressors, a decrease of anxiety in a novel environment, and neuroanatomical changes. In this present study we demonstrated that mat...
متن کاملClarifying the interaction types in two-person neuroscience research
Human brains and behaviors are shaped, and normally function, in continuous interaction with other humans (Hari and Kujala, 2009). However, because of the methodological difficulties related to the complex dynamics of interaction situations, neural mechanisms underlying interactive behavior remain one of the most poorly understood areas of neuroscience (Hari et al., 2013). Previous neuroscience...
