社会排斥或失落的经历被描述为我们作为人类所面临的最“痛苦”的经历，或许是有充分理由的。由于我们长期的不成熟，社会依恋系统可能已经取代了痛苦系统，借用痛苦信号来防止社会分离的有害后果。这篇综述总结了一项研究计划，该计划探索了身体和社会痛苦的体验依赖于共享的神经底物这一观点。首先，回顾了显示社交痛苦激活与疼痛相关的神经区域的证据。然后，对探索这种身体-社会痛苦重叠的一些预期后果的研究进行了总结。这些研究表明：1)对一种疼痛更敏感的人对另一种疼痛也更敏感；2)增加或减少一种疼痛的因素以类似的方式改变另一种疼痛。最后，讨论了这些共同的神经底物对于我们理解社会痛苦经历的意义。
Experiences of social rejection or loss have been described as some of the most ‘painful’ experiences that we, as humans, face and perhaps for good reason. Because of our prolonged period of immaturity, the social attachment system may have co-opted the pain system, borrowing the pain signal to prevent the detrimental consequences of social separation. This review summarizes a program of research that has explored the idea that experiences of physical and social pain rely on shared neural substrates. First, evidence showing that social pain activates pain-related neural regions is reviewed. Then, studies exploring some of the expected consequences of such a physical-social pain overlap are summarized. These studies demonstrate: 1) that individuals who are more sensitive to one kind of pain are also more sensitive to the other and 2) that factors that increase or decrease one kind of pain alter the other in a similar manner. Finally, what these shared neural substrates mean for our understanding of socially painful experience is discussed.
