1. Social Neuroscience Seioh Ezaki
Social neuroscience, when I heard this word, I was a little bit blank. I know cognitive neuroscience, affective neuroscience, but social and science, they don't really get along well.

2. What is Social Neuroscience?
the brain
Actually, traditional neuroscience also has considered the nervous system was isolated entity and ignored influences of the social environments we live in. like, human to human.
Social neuroscience is for understanding the relationship between the brain and social behavior.
social behavior
social environments

3. Ex) Mirror neuron
So, how our isolated brains could be social entities?
Introducing Mirror neuron is easy way to explain how it works.
In a word, when my friend is happy, I become happy, when my friend is sad, I become sad.
And it is not only about feelings, but same things happen to motor neurons.
Most of our neuron fire when it’s touched or stimulated. But a subset of them also fire when watching somebody else being touched, even I’m not touched, and this is the effect of mirror neuron.
This enables us to learn new things easily imitating others, not physically but via neurons.
So, we are actually quite literally connected with others by our neurons.

Prospects of Social Neuroscience
socially well connected people live longer, more resistant
how social factors modulate the risks for mental disorders?
Now, we know this area is frontier, there are so much complex social processes and it is usually difficult to study in a lab setting.
I will just introduce the tip of the iceberg.
There are studies how social factors modulate the risks for mental disorders, the article about socially well connected people live longer, and even a study says online dating leads happier marriage, etc…
These kinds of studies have been done in statistical science, but with the new technologies, new hard and soft ware, like noticed by Er Pai Wei, can bring it together, we can reveal more and more mysteries in our brain-to-brain links.
Human is a social animal, much more than any other species on the earth, and our neurons are social entities as well, so that social neuroscience has direct, real-world implications.
