How people respond to rejection that causes emotional pain is crucial to their survival in society. However, the neural mechanisms behind these responses remain unknown. In this study, individuals who felt rejection more strongly showed greater increased activation in the parietal operculum, indicating that it is involved in pain processing. This suggests that self-presentation after rejection feedback may be associated with social pain processing.
These results were presented at the 27th Annual Meeting of Japan Human Brain Mapping. (Ding)
