The new normal has made social distancing a new way of experiencing sociality. Social neuroscience has for a long time been concerned with studying the beneficial effects of social relationships, of physical contact. It is known that physical contact activates neurophysiological processes that reduce the perception of discomfort and even physical pain. So in the absence of physical contact, our social brain may be modulated differently when we are with others. But what could be the long-term effects of this normality? This mini-review focuses on highlighting with the support of social neuroscience evidence such as isolation, distancing can affect people's health.
新常态使社交距离成为一种新的社交体验方式。长期以来，社会神经科学一直致力于研究社会关系、身体接触的有益影响。众所周知，身体接触会激活神经生理过程，从而减少对不适甚至身体疼痛的感知。因此，在缺乏身体接触的情况下，当我们与他人在一起时，我们的社交大脑可能会受到不同的调节。但这种常态会产生哪些长期影响呢？这篇小型综述着重在社会神经科学证据（如隔离、社交距离）的支持下强调，社交距离会影响人们的健康。
