Touch is a key modality of social interaction and has considerable health benefits across the lifespan. Touch-based interventions may serve as an effective method to alleviate loneliness. However, previous studies have yielded heterogenous results, with outcomes ranging from beneficial to detrimental effects in individuals experiencing loneliness. While methodological differences likely contribute to this inconsistency, a crucial factor, the chronicity of loneliness, has been largely overlooked. This review proposes a model in which the desire for social contact is enhanced during acute stages of loneliness. In contrast, chronic loneliness is associated with increased distrust and perceived social threat, potentially leading to reduced receptivity to touch. We argue that future research should account for the chronicity of loneliness when evaluating the efficacy of touch-based interventions, with experimental studies needed to empirically test this hypothesis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56191,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 101590"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144903262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These questions lie at the heart of competing frameworks proposing divergent mechanisms for DA in reinforcement learning. This rift reflects not only conceptual disagreements but also the historical limitations of bandwidth-limited measurement tools. Emerging breakthroughs for wideband DA quantification promise rigorous testing of these theories.

In this opinion paper, I argue that while DMN–ECN brain dynamics appear to offer the simplest explanation (and therefore, to follow Occam’s dictum, the most likely explanation) for the brain basis for creativity, to reach such a conclusion is not warranted because of fundamental weaknesses inherent in the evidence at hand. Three major concerns in this field of research include vast variability in scoring methodology across studies, the imposition of blanket interpretations and conclusions despite heterogeneous findings, and the failure to account for or even acknowledge individuality in the study of the creative process. The veneer of narrative simplicity, then, is a result of glossing over differences, ignoring the internal perspective of the creating individual, and overlooking evidence that runs contrary to the dominant explanation.

However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, and the development of targeted treatments has been challenging. Historically, resting-state research in psychiatry and task-based studies in cognitive neuroscience have progressed independently, limiting the translation of mechanistic insights into clinical practice. Recent advances in neural decoding methods, specifically those linking hippocampal replay to DMN activity during rest, have begun to bridge this gap. By probing the representations of resting brain activity in psychopathology research, we can more precisely characterise DMN-related dysfunction and uncover symptom-relevant mechanisms. These developments also lay the groundwork for targeted interventions: noninvasive neuromodulation techniques, such as transcranial focused ultrasound, can be used to test causal hypotheses and optimise therapeutic strategies. Together, these innovations offer a more integrated framework for understanding the DMN and improving psychiatric outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56191,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 101582"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144781814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
