Social cognitive neuroscience is an emerging discipline that seeks to explain the psychological and neural bases of socioemotional experience and behavior. Although research in some areas is already well developed (e.g. perception of nonverbal social cues) investigation in other areas has only just begun (e.g. social interaction). Current studies are elucidating; the role of the amygdala in a variety of evaluative and social judgment processes, the role of medial prefrontal cortex in mental state attribution, how frontally mediated controlled processes can regulate perception and experience, and the way in which these and other systems are recruited during social interaction. Future progress will depend upon the development of programmatic lines of research that integrate contemporary social cognitive research with cognitive neuroscience theory and methodology.
社会认知神经科学是一门新兴学科，旨在解释社会情感体验和行为的心理及神经基础。尽管某些领域的研究已经相当成熟（例如对非言语社会线索的感知），但其他领域的研究才刚刚起步（例如社会互动）。当前的研究正在阐明杏仁核在各种评估和社会判断过程中的作用、内侧前额叶皮层在心理状态归因中的作用、额叶介导的控制过程如何调节感知和体验，以及在社会互动过程中这些系统和其他系统是如何被调动的。未来的进展将取决于整合当代社会认知研究与认知神经科学理论及方法的系统性研究路线的发展。
