🧵1/ New preprint! 🧠 Loneliness is a state that is comprised of a constellation of features (drive to socialize, unpleasant state, heightened vigilance) and we found that these features map onto different parallel circuits.

[Christopher Lee @crlee94]

9/ Loneliness is a major risk factor for mental and physical health issues. Understanding these circuits could pave the way for targeted interventions to treat social dysfunction in psychiatric disorders.
