Humans depend on social structures that range from dyads and families to groups, communities, and cultures. These structures likely evolved hand in hand with the neural, neuroendocrine, cellular, and genetic mechanisms that support them because the consequent social behaviors helped these organisms survive, reproduce, and care for offspring sufficiently long rnough that they too reproduced. Social neuroscience is a field of research that has grown over the past two decades to investigate these neural, neuroendocrine, cellular, and genetic mechanisms and the social structures, factors, and processes with which they interface.This award provides NSF funding for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend an upcoming conference on Social Neuroscience that will bring together scientists from the United States, Europe, and Asia, speaking on the topics 1) Imaging, lesion, and behavioral studies of social cognition; 2) Neurobiology of affiliative behavior; 3) Social perception; 4) Neural bases and neuro-embodiment of social processes; and 5) Neural bases of real-time social interactions. The junior investigators funded to attend this conference will be exposed to cutting edge research in social neuroscience and will have their own work showcased during a special poster session. The product of the conference will be an edited volume submitted to MIT Press for the Social Neuroscience Book Series.

人类依赖于各种社会结构，从二人组、家庭到群体、社区和文化。这些结构可能是与支持它们的神经、神经内分泌、细胞和遗传机制一起进化的，因为随后的社会行为帮助这些生物存活、繁殖和照顾后代足够长的时间，尽管它们也繁殖了。社会神经科学是在过去二十年中发展起来的一个研究领域，研究这些神经、神经内分泌、细胞和遗传机制以及它们相互作用的社会结构、因素和过程。该奖项为NSF提供资金，供研究生和博士后参加即将举行的社会神经科学会议，该会议将汇集来自美国、欧洲和亚洲的科学家，就以下主题发表演讲：1)社会认知的成像、损伤和行为研究；2)附属行为的神经生物学；3)社会感知；4)社会过程的神经基础和神经体现；5)实时社会互动的神经基础。资助参加这次会议的初级研究人员将接触到社会神经科学的尖端研究，并将在一个特别的海报会议上展示他们自己的工作。会议的成果将是提交给麻省理工学院出版社的社会神经科学丛书的编辑卷。
