Abstract

Where and how does the brain code reward during social behavior? Almost all elements of the brain's reward circuit are modulated during social behavior. The striatum in particular is activated by rewards in social situations. However, its role in social behavior is still poorly understood. Here, we attempt to review its participation in social behaviors of different species ranging from voles to humans. Human fMRI experiments show that the striatum is reliably active in relation to others' rewards, to reward inequity and also while learning about social agents. Social contact and rearing conditions have long-lasting effects on behavior, striatal anatomy and physiology in rodents and primates. The striatum also plays a critical role in pair-bond formation and maintenance in monogamous voles. We review recent findings from single neuron recordings showing that the striatum contains cells that link own reward to self or others' actions. These signals might be used to solve the agency-credit assignment problem: the question of whose action was responsible for the reward. Activity in the striatum has been hypothesized to integrate actions with rewards. The picture that emerges from this review is that the striatum is a general-purpose subcortical region capable of integrating social information into coding of social action and reward.

Activation of the brain's reward circuitry is mediated by the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward.
“This activation is mediated by the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward (Báez-Mendoza and Schultz, 2013).”
From The impact of digital technology, social media, and artificial intelligence on cognitive functions: a review (2023) · cites this paper as Báez-Mendoza and Schultz, 2013
The Social reward section (page unavailable) reports that rewards are associated with positive emotions and that social rewards increase striatal activity. The Social contact and striatal function section discusses dopamine release in the ventral striatum, but it does not say that dopamine release mediates the reward-circuit activation described in the claim.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
Excessive digital use, particularly related to activities such as social media and gaming, can trigger addictive behaviors by activating the brain's reward circuitry.
“Research has shown that excessive digital use, particularly related to activities such as social media and gaming, can trigger addictive behaviors by activating the brain's reward circuitry.”
From The impact of digital technology, social media, and artificial intelligence on cognitive functions: a review (2023) · cites this paper as Báez-Mendoza and Schultz, 2013
The Social reward section reports that social rewards are associated with activity in the striatum, a component of the brain’s reward circuitry. It does not address excessive digital use, social media or gaming, or show that these activities trigger addictive behavior; searches for digital use and internet addiction found no relevant passage.

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.
