“…Indeed, earlier studies have shown that ADS present increased insula activation during non-social negative emotional situations, as compared with CS (Bjork et al, 2008;Gilman et al, 2010). The specificity of this insula activation for the social nature of the task can thus not be totally proven on the basis of the present results; (2) reduced right VPFC-MFG activations, suggesting an impaired inhibition of social exclusion feelings (Eisenberger et al, 2003;Onoda et al, 2010;Bolling et al, 2011;Masten et al, 2011;Gunther-Moor et al, 2012). This is reinforced by the fact that the negative correlations observed between dACC, insula, and PCC, and frontal regions among CS were absent among ADS.…”

“…Importantly, ADS showed modified brain activations during ostracism as compared with CS. First, ESE-ISE contrast revealed: (1) increased insula activity, classically interpreted as indexing a higher emotional reaction to ostracism (Eisenberger et al, 2003;Onoda et al, 2010;Bolling et al, 2011;Masten et al, 2011;Gunther-Moor et al, 2012). Nevertheless, while the link between insula and exclusion feelings has been repeatedly proposed in earlier studies, this increased insula activation during social exclusion among ADS could also partly be due to increased negative emotions rather than to enhanced social exclusion feelings per se.…”

“…The cyberball task, a computerized ball-tossing game eliciting social exclusion feelings (Eisenberger et al, 2003), was used. fMRI studies (Eisenberger et al, 2003;Onoda et al, 2010;Gunther-Moor et al, 2012) have shown that the exclusion feelings evoked by this task are associated with two main cerebral activations: (a) dACC and insula activations, reflecting the negative feelings and distress associated with social exclusion; (b) middle frontal gyrus (MFG) and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) activations, particularly in the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VPFC, Brodmann's area 47), implicated in the regulation and inhibition of this emotional response. The high frequency of negative social interactions experienced by ADS leads to the hypothesis that they would present increased activations related to the elicitation of social exclusion feelings (ie, in dACC and insula) combined with reduced activations related to the regulation of these feelings (ie, in MFG and IFG).…”

Alcohol-dependence is associated with cognitive and biological alterations, and also with interpersonal impairments. Although overwhelming in clinical settings and involved in relapse, these social impairments have received little attention from researchers. Particularly, brain alterations related to social exclusion have not been explored in alcohol-dependence. Our primary purpose was to determine the neural correlates of social exclusion feelings in this population. In all, 44 participants (22 abstinent alcohol-dependent patients and 22 paired controls) played a virtual game ('cyberball') during fMRI recording. They were first included by other players, then excluded, and finally re-included. Brain areas involved in social exclusion were identified and the functional connectivity between these areas was explored using psycho-physiological interactions (PPI). Results showed that while both groups presented dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) activations during social exclusion, alcohol-dependent participants exhibited increased insula and reduced frontal activations (in ventrolateral prefrontal cortex) as compared with controls. Alcohol-dependence was also associated with persistent dACC and parahippocampal gyrus activations in re-inclusion. PPI analyses showed reduced frontocingulate connectivity during social exclusion in alcohol-dependence. Alcohol-dependence is thus linked with increased activation in areas eliciting social exclusion feelings (dACC-insula), and with impaired ability to inhibit these feelings (indexed by reduced frontal activations). Altered frontal regulation thus appears implied in the interpersonal alterations observed in alcohol-dependence, which seem reinforced by impaired frontocingulate connectivity. This first exploration of the neural correlates of interpersonal problems in alcohol-dependence could initiate the development of a social neuroscience of addictive states.

“…From a developmental perspective, several studies have additionally reported that mPFC is more active in adolescence than in adulthood when performing mentalizing tasks (Blakemore, 2008;Burnett et al, 2008;Gunther Moor et al, 2012). These effects are the largest during early adolescence (Gunther Moor et al, 2012;Van den Bos et al, 2011).…”

“…These effects are the largest during early adolescence (Gunther Moor et al, 2012;Van den Bos et al, 2011). Possibly, (early) adolescence is a time window when peers have a heightened influence on mPFC activity (Pfeifer et al, 2009;Somerville et al, 2013;Braams et al, 2014).…”

A unique feature of adolescent social re-orientation is heightened sensitivity to peer influence when taking risks. However, positive peer influence effects are not yet well understood. The present fMRI study tested a novel hypothesis, by examining neural correlates of prosocial peer influence on donation decisions in adolescence. Participants (age 12-16 years; N ¼ 61) made decisions in anonymous groups about the allocation of tokens between themselves and the group in a public goods game. Two spectator groups of same-age peers-in fact youth actors-were allegedly online during some of the decisions. The task had a within-subjects design with three conditions: (1) Evaluation: spectators evaluated decisions with likes for large donations to the group, (2) Spectator: spectators were present but no evaluative feedback was displayed and (3) Alone: no spectators nor feedback. Results showed that prosocial behavior increased in the presence of peers, and even more when participants received evaluative feedback from peers. Peer presence resulted in enhanced activity in several social brain regions including medial prefrontal cortex, temporal parietal junction (TPJ), precuneus and superior temporal sulcus. TPJ activity correlated with donations, which suggests similar networks for prosocial behavior and sensitivity to peers. These findings highlight the importance of peers in fostering prosocial development throughout adolescence.

Peers provide a context in which child and adolescent development occurs. Peers may right wayward developmental trajectories, buffering the effects of deleterious risk factors. Adverse peer experiences also may distort developmental pathways, contributing to psychopathology. Numerous distinct peer constructs that signal developmental perturbations have been identified and associated with indices of psychopathology. This chapter reviews peer experiences in early childhood (i.e., social withdrawal), school‐age youth (i.e., peer status, peer victimization, and friendship), and adolescence (i.e., peer influence) that are associated with psychological symptoms. This chapter highlights developmental psychopathology approaches for understanding transactions between peer experiences and multiple development systems. New directions for research, integrating affective neuroscience theories, psychophysiology findings, and more complex cascade models of development are discussed. The peer context is highly relevant for understanding psychological and even biological functioning in youth. Ongoing research integrates findings from the peer relations literature with research in related scientific disciplines.
