Chapter One - Introduction to social neuroscience

Abstract

As we are all well aware, every discipline has its strengths and weaknesses, and the present chapter will discuss these in the context of the field of social neuroscience. Social media, online communities, and other forms of virtual interaction have been increasingly popular in recent years, but their health risks far outweigh the benefits for people who otherwise lead sedentary lifestyles. We all know that social neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that studies the connections between social interactions and biological processes, so it stands to reason that society is a good place to start when making sure that everything is running well. Humans, by and large, are more social than solitary. Therefore, Homo sapiens form emergent organizations, which may be found not only in small-scale social structures like families and communities, but also in larger-scale ones like cities, civilizations, and cultures. Neuroscience refers to the study of the brain and how it interacts with other parts of the body and the environment. This chapter of a book will provide a well-grounded response to the debate surrounding the value of social neuroscience by exploring the field's history, current state of research, and potential future applications in the realm of social science. Clearly, this piece is an introduction to the field of social neurosciences. In this article, we will discuss the field of social neuroscience, including its history, present applications, and potential effects on people's emotional well-being. No one is telling the truth, and both paths are progressing. There is a term for when social science and neuroscience come together: social neuroscience. Different aspects of the role and obligations of societies and people, as well as the responsibilities of individuals, and the consequences and field implications of the social neurosciences are examined. The influence that social neurosciences can play in people's lives now and in the future is enormous.
