Death Anxiety and Social Exclusion

Individual traits shape hemispheric vlPFC sensitization to Cyberball exclusion: Evidence from single-trial fNIRS analyses

The paper uses single-trial fNIRS to show that individual traits like social anxiety and need for belonging modulate neural sensitization in vlPFC during Cyberball exclusion.

Shared network between social exclusion and physiological needs

The paper identifies a shared neural network between social exclusion and physiological needs using meta-analyses and correlates it with dopamine and serotonin receptor distributions.

Reassessing the Neural Correlates of Social Exclusion: A Replication Study of the Cyberball Paradigm Using Arterial Spin Labelling

This study replicates previous findings of social exclusion neural correlates using arterial spin labelling but suggests these areas may also be involved in other cognitive processes.

Behavioral and neural decomposition of skull-induced death awareness

The paper decomposes skull-induced death awareness into two-stage neural processes using behavioral and brain imaging data.

Feeling left out or just surprised? Neural correlates of social exclusion and over-inclusion in adolescence

This study examines neural responses to social exclusion and over-inclusion in adolescents using fMRI, finding differential activation patterns in specific brain regions.
