«Increased activity in brain areas such as the dorsal anterior
cingulate cortex is associated with an increased
experience of social pain.
Those subjects who
experienced the greatest reduction in the intensity of their pain had the largest increase of activity in their right insula and both sides of their anterior
cingulate cortices.
Specific brain areas, most notably the anterior
cingulate cortex (ACC) and anterior insula, activated during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) both when subjects
experienced pain and when another person present
experienced pain, whereas other areas activated only during the direct sensation of pain [3].
It was also revealed that brain activity increased in the orbito - frontal cortex, anterior insula and anterior
cingulate cortex areas, which all play a part in how the brain shapes a pain
experience from nerve signals coming from the body.
It's been my
experience that people routinely use heuristics - biases (Tversky & Kahneman) but those cognitive processes may not (I'm not clear on this) involve the active suppression of ideas that occurs in the Anterior
Cingulate Cortex (ACC), where dissonant ideas are weighed and improperly discarded in order to preserve the integrity of pre-existing cherished beliefs.
The results of the investigation showed that people who had reported more
experiences of social support over the preceding 9 days had lower dorsal anterior
cingulate cortex activity in response to the virtual social exclusion task and also exhibited lower cortisol responses to the TSST, suggesting lower levels of
experienced stress.
