  • Loneliness impairs inflammatory and immune responses and promotes a phenotypic hypersensitivity to social threats and self-centered behavior.

    “loneliness impairs inflammatory and immune responses[ 6 , 10 ] and promotes a phenotypic hypersensitivity to social threats and self‐centered behavior.[ 8 , 11 ]”

    From Loneliness and the Social Brain: How Perceived Social Isolation Impairs Human Interactions (2021) · cites this paper as [6]

    “Loneliness and the Immune System” reports reduced immune responses in lonely students, while “Neurocognitive Consequences of Social Isolation” describes altered inflammatory gene expression. “The Problem of Social Isolation” describes heightened perception of negative social cues and threats. Our copy does not establish that loneliness promotes self-centered behavior, so that part of the attributed claim is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • The neural circuits of trust and loneliness are largely intertwined and share neuroanatomical pathways via the amygdala, anterior insula, medial prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, and temporoparietal junction.

    “the neural circuits of trust and loneliness are largely intertwined and share neuroanatomical pathways via the amygdala, the anterior insula (AI), the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), and the temporoparietal junction (TPJ).[ 6 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]”

    From Loneliness and the Social Brain: How Perceived Social Isolation Impairs Human Interactions (2021) · cites this paper as [6]

    The ‘Strong and Thin Social Networks are Manifested in Brain Circuitry’ section links social-isolation markers to the amygdala, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and nucleus accumbens, while Figure 3’s discussion links the amygdala to judgments of facial trustworthiness. The copy does not establish that trust and loneliness have largely intertwined circuits or share pathways through all five listed regions; in particular, it does not make that connection for the anterior insula or temporoparietal junction. Page numbers were not available in the indexed passages. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
