社会认知的神经生物学研究

近来的研究已经开始解释具体的神经结构、基因和神经传导系统在社会认知研究中所扮演的角色.颞叶的皮质区感知与社会相关的刺激;杏仁核、右躯体感觉皮层、眶额叶、扣带回和感知动机、情绪、认知刺激相关.未来的研究不仅仅是局限于动物的社会认知研究,更需要关注人类的社会认知研究.方法上要把行为的方法和生理的方法结合起来,以寻求汇聚性的证据来揭示社会认知的特点.

Social cognitive neurobiology research

Recent studies have begun to elucidate the roles played in social cognition by specific neural structures,genes,and neurotransmitter systems.Cortical regions in the temporal lobe participate in perceiving socially relevant stimuli,whereas the amygdala,right somatosensory cortices,orbitofrontal cortices,and cingulate cortices all participate in linking perception of such stimuli to motivation,emotion and cognition.Future research is not limited to animal study of social cognition,but also need to pay attention to the human social cognition research.methods to behavioral methods and physical methods in combination,to seek the convergent evidence to reveal the social cognitive characteristics.
