Neurophysiology of Social Conduct and Impact of Adverse Exposures

Human social conduct draws upon focal as well as global connected brain mechanisms. These flexible anatomical routes operate in cooperation and coordination for intelligent behaviors. Cues and inputs from human social interaction are processed with reference to innate and acquired mental framework, and inference is drawn toward generation of appropriate output (response).The focal and global connections are being characterized with functional neuroimaging technology. Brain mapping approaches have facilitated comprehensive understanding of network neurophysiology. There is increased knowledge of pollution threats to delicate neural architecture operating the social conduct, which is a challenge to the quality of personal and social life. The most vulnerable periods are early developmental stages and later during aging. Such kind of distortion is speculated as a possible basis for the hatred held by Hitler. This article briefly introduces related neurophysiologic and neurotoxicological perspectives; moreover, the interdisciplinary research perspectives relevant to development of preventive and corrective interventions are deliberated upon.
