Researchers have explored the concept of attachment in multiple ways, from animal studies examining imprinting to abnormal attachment in psychopathology. However, until recently, few have considered how neural circuitry develops the effective social bonds that are subsequently replicated in relationships across the lifespan. This current cross-sectional study undertook a fMRI Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) meta-analyses to examine the neurocircuitry that governs emotional and behavioural functions critical for building effective social relationships in children and adults. Results suggest that dissociable dorsal cognitive ("cool") and ventral - affective ("hot") frontal-subcortical circuits (FSC) work together to govern social relationships, with repeated social consequences leading to potentially adaptive - or maladaptive - relationships that can become routinized in the cerebellum. Implications for forming stable, functional, social bonds are considered, followed by recommendations for those who struggle with cool and hot FSC functioning that can hinder the development of adaptive prosocial relationships.
研究人员通过多种方式探索了依恋的概念，从研究印记现象的动物实验到精神病理学中的异常依恋。然而，直到最近，很少有人考虑神经回路是如何发展出有效的社会纽带的，而这些纽带随后会在整个生命周期的人际关系中反复出现。这项当前的横断面研究进行了一项功能磁共振成像激活可能性估计（ALE）元分析，以研究在儿童和成人中对建立有效社会关系至关重要的情感和行为功能的神经回路。结果表明，可分离的背侧认知（“冷静”）和腹侧情感（“热烈”）额叶 - 皮质下回路（FSC）共同作用来管理社会关系，反复的社会后果会导致潜在的适应性或适应不良的关系，这些关系可能在小脑中变得常规化。文中考虑了形成稳定、功能性社会纽带的意义，随后为那些额叶 - 皮质下回路“冷静”和“热烈”功能存在问题、可能阻碍适应性亲社会关系发展的人提供了建议。
