What is the summary of: We all need friends. Deeper and more numerous friendships promote health, well-being, survival, and even financial success. By the same token, social exclusion and the loss of social partners result in feelings similar to physical pain. Impairments in the ability or motivation to connect with others profoundly impact the lives of individuals with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Despite its importance, the scientific study of friendship is relatively new, due to the difficulty of studying complex social behavior in the laboratory. Dr. Platt's talk will focus on his lab's work defining the biological mechanisms that mediate our ability and desire to connect.

Using a suite of brain imaging, eye-tracking, single-unit recording, pharmacology, and molecular neurogenomics to directly compare biology and behavior in humans and monkeys, his work has identified specialized circuitry that focuses attention on others, identifies their internal states, predicts their intentions, and promotes giving and cooperation. These findings have led to new wearable brain monitoring technology developed to monitor and ultimately improve team chemistry driving peak performance in business and sports.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
