A neuroimaging study examined the neural correlates of social exclusion and tested the hypothesis that the brain bases of social pain are similar to those of physical pain. Participants were scanned while playing a virtual ball-tossing game in which they were ultimately excluded. Paralleling results from physical pain studies, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) was more active during exclusion than during inclusion and correlated positively with self-reported distress. Right ventral prefrontal cortex (RVPFC) was active during exclusion and correlated negatively with self-reported distress. ACC changes mediated the RVPFC-distress correlation, suggesting that RVPFC regulates the distress of social exclusion by disrupting ACC activity.
一项神经影像学研究考察了社会排斥的神经关联，并检验了社会疼痛的脑基础与身体疼痛相似的假设。参与者在玩一款最终会被排除在外的虚拟抛球游戏时接受扫描。与身体疼痛研究的结果相似，前扣带回皮质（ACC）在被排除时比被纳入时更活跃，且与自我报告的痛苦呈正相关。右侧腹侧前额叶皮质（RVPFC）在被排除时活跃，且与自我报告的痛苦呈负相关。ACC的变化介导了RVPFC与痛苦之间的关联，这表明RVPFC通过干扰ACC的活动来调节社会排斥带来的痛苦。
