Trzydzieści lat neuronauki społecznej
Thirty years of social neuroscience

Summary/Abstract: Over the last three decades, social neuroscience, which had emerged as a subdiscipline of cognitive neuroscience at the beginning of 1990s, has been rapidly developing its specific methodology and extending its research scope. By combining knowledge and methodology from social, psychological and biological sciences it is uniquely suited to study human functioning on multiple levels and elucidate the trajectories underlying human social behavior. The current article aims to briefly cover the history of social neuroscience by discussing development of both research and academic structures related to it. Moreover, the research on the association between social isolation and subjective social status, and health is presented as an example of practical application of the interdisciplinary approach adopted by social neuroscience.
