Description
Researchers revisited brain activity during social exclusion in 2024, using the Cyberball ball-toss game. In that game, a player is left out by others, and past scans linked certain brain areas to so-called social pain. The new study tested whether those findings repeat and whether they are specific to exclusion.
The team used a blood-flow scan method suited to longer mental states. They did repeat past findings in the lower frontal gyrus and a midline cingulate area. Yet those same areas were also active when participants just watched the game without being excluded, though less strongly. The authors argue these areas may serve wider tasks, such as sorting meaning and judging action goals.
