The default network of the human brain is associated with perceived social isolation

Here, using pattern-learning analyses of structural, functional, and diffusion brain scans in ~40,000 UK Biobank participants, the authors provide population-scale evidence that the default network is associated with perceived social isolation.

Multimodal population study reveals the neurobiological underpinnings of chronotype

Capitalizing on multimodel data from the UK Biobank, Bzdok and colleagues delineate the deep phenotyping and brain basis of early risers and night owls at a population scale, showing links to habit formation, reward function and emotional regulation.

Processing of social closeness in the human brain

Most of our social effort is dedicated to a small group of very close individuals. This study reveals that neurocognitive processing of these people differs from the broader social network, paralleling the processing of close versus distant places.

The effect of co-location on human communication networks

This study suggests that a lack of co-location hinders the formation of ‘weak ties’—which are crucial for information spread—in communication networks on the basis of an analysis of an email network of more than 2,800 university researchers.
