文化神经科学是一门新兴的研究学科，研究心理，神经和基因组过程中的文化差异，作为阐明这些过程及其涌现特性的双向关系的一种手段。文化神经科学的研究整合了人类学、文化心理学、神经科学和神经遗传学的理论和方法。在这里，我们回顾了研究人员在规划和进行文化神经科学研究时面临的一系列核心理论和方法学挑战，并为克服这些挑战提供了建议。特别是，我们专注于文化和文化适当的实验任务的定义，比较从不同人群和扫描仪站点获得的神经影像学数据，并确定相关的文化功能的遗传多态性的问题。文化神经科学研究的影响，以解决目前的问题，在人口健康的差距进行了讨论。
Cultural neuroscience is an emerging research discipline that investigates cultural variation in psychological, neural and genomic processes as a means of articulating the bidirectional relationship of these processes and their emergent properties. Research in cultural neuroscience integrates theory and methods from anthropology, cultural psychology, neuroscience and neurogenetics. Here, we review a set of core theoretical and methodological challenges facing researchers when planning and conducting cultural neuroscience studies, and provide suggestions for overcoming these challenges. In particular, we focus on the problems of defining culture and culturally appropriate experimental tasks, comparing neuroimaging data acquired from different populations and scanner sites and identifying functional genetic polymorphisms relevant to culture. Implications of cultural neuroscience research for addressing current issues in population health disparities are discussed.
