The Biology of Social Interactions 和 Emotions | Dr. Kay Tye

这 section of the episode develops the topic 通过 the following source points: 安德鲁·休伯曼： Welcome to the Huberman Lab 播客, where 我们 discuss science 和 science-based tools 对于 everyday life. I'm Andrew Huberman, 和 I'm a professor of 神经生物学 和 ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. My guest today is Dr. Kay Tye. Dr. Kay Tye is a professor of neuroscience at the Salk Institute 对于 Biological 研究. She did her 训练 at MIT 和 at Stanford, 和 is currently an investigator 与 the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which is a highly curated group of 个体 who are incentivized to do high-risk, high-reward work, 和 pioneer new areas of biological 研究. Throughout her career, Dr. Kay Tye has made fundamental breakthroughs 进入 我们的 understanding of the 大脑, including demonstrating 那 a 大脑 area called the amygdala, which most 人们 associate 与 fear 和 threat detection, is actually involved in reinforcement of behaviors 和 experiences 那 are positive 和 involve reward. Her current work focuses on various aspects of social interaction, including what happens when 我们 feel lonely 或 isolated. Indeed, today, Kay Tye 会 tell us 关于 her discovery of so-called loneliness neurons, neurons 那 give us 那 sense 那 我们 are not being fulfilled 从 我们的 social interactions. She also describes a phenomenon she discovered called social homeostasis, which is 我们的 sense 那 我们 are experiencing enough, not enough, 或 just enough social interaction irrespective of whether 或 not 我们 are an introvert 或 an extrovert. 我们 also talk 关于 social hierarchies 和 social rank, how 人们 和 animals tier out 进入 so-called alphas 和 betas, subordinates 和 dominants, et cetera, in all sorts of social interactions. I think everyone 会 find 那 discussion 尤其是 interesting. 和 我们 talk 关于 the role of social media 和 online interactions, 和 why despite extensive interaction 与 many, many 个体, 那些 social media 和 online interactions 可以 经常 leave us feeling deprived in 具体的 ways. 我们 talk 关于 the neurochemical, the neural 回路, 和 some of the hormonal aspects of social interactions. It's a discussion 那 by the end 会 have 你 thinking far 更多 deeply 关于 what is a social interaction, 和 why certain social interactions leave us feeling so good, others feeling sort of meh, 和 why other social interactions 或 lack of social interactions 可以 经常 leave us feeling quite depleted, even depressed. It's a conversation central to mental illness 和 the understanding of things like depression 和 anxiety, PTSD, 和 isolation, 和 it's a conversation central to 心理健康, 和 in order to build healthy social interactions. 之前 我们 begin, I'd like to emphasize 那 这 podcast is separate 从 my teaching 和 研究 roles at Stanford. It is, 然而, part of my desire 和 effort to bring zero cost to consumer information 关于 science 和 science-related tools to the general public. In keeping 与 那 theme, I'd like to thank the sponsors of today's podcast. 和 now 对于 my conversation 与 Dr. Kay Tye. Dr. Kay Tye, welcome. Dr. Kay Tye: Andy Huberman, what a treat. 安德鲁·休伯曼： Folks are going to hear 你 call me Andy 和 wonder if my name is Andy. I 总是 know who I'm speaking to according to whether 或 not they call me Andrew- Dr. Kay Tye: Oh 安德鲁·休伯曼： ... which is my family 和 人们 那 I know 之后 a certain period of my life, Drew, which are 人们 那 know me 通过 my 非常 brief 和 non-illustrious career in boxing, 和 Andy, which are 人们 那 met me as I was coming up 通过 science. Let's just put it 这 way, there was another Andrew, 我们 did a coin flip, 和 I lost. So Andy is fine. Andrew's fine, whatever makes 你 comfortable. What's 重要 today is not how anyone refers to me, 但 rather the discussion 关于 你的 work, which is spectacular. I've known 你 a long time, 和 I've been following 你的 career, 和 it's just been amazing 和 wonderful to see the contributions 你've made to science 和 also to the culture of science. So 我们're going to talk 关于 both of 那些 things. To kick things off, let's talk 关于 a 大脑 structure 那 most 人们 I think have heard of, 但 那 is badly misunderstood, 和 那's the amygdala. Dr. Kay Tye: Mm.
