“…Homozygosity for the short allele increases an individual's risk for depression following stressful events (Caspi et al ., 2003). The broad cultural differences in interdependent/ independent modes of self‐construal in Asian versus Western cultures (Markus & Kitayama, 1991) may have arisen, in part, because of this genetic difference, which would cause members of Asian cultures to be more vulnerable to stressful and traumatic life experiences, and would therefore encourage close, harmonious family groups and strong social‐support networks (Laland, 1993; Taylor et al ., 2006; see also Fiske, 2009, for a more detailed instantiation of this argument).…”

“…Cultural psychology and neuroscience might seem to inhabit opposite ends of the scientific spectrum. Recently, however, the emerging field of cultural neuroscience has sought to combine the theories and methods of these two disciplines (Fiske, 2009; Han & Northoff, 2008). At first blush, these theories and methods may seem incompatible—with cultural psychology characterized by ethnographic holism and neuroscience characterized by biological reductionism.…”

Cultural neuroscience issues from the apparently incompatible combination of neuroscience and cultural psychology. A brief literature sampling suggests, instead, several preliminary topics that demonstrate proof of possibilities: cultural differences in both lower-level processes (e.g. perception, number representation) and higher-order processes (e.g. inferring others’ emotions, contemplating the self) are beginning to shed new light on both culture and cognition. Candidates for future cultural neuroscience research include cultural variations in the default (resting) network, which may be social; regulation and inhibition of feelings, thoughts, and actions; prejudice and dehumanization; and neural signatures of fundamental warmth and competence judgments.

“…Many of the behavioural and cognitive changes associated with adolescence, such as increased exploration, novelty-seeking, emotional lability and social salience assist the transition to an independent adult role, however they can also confer vulnerability (Eldreth et al, 2013); half of all lifetime cases of mental health disorder begin by age 14 (Kessler et al, 2005). Increasing our understanding of the development of these abilities, and the way in which they interact with each other, may also give insight as to why some adolescents are successful in making this transition, while others experience difficulties.…”

Social cognitive processes are critical in navigating complex social interactions and are associated with a network of brain areas termed the 'social brain'. Here, we describe the development of social cognition, and the structural and functional changes in the social brain during adolescence, a period of life characterised by extensive changes in social behaviour and environments. Neuroimaging and behavioural studies have demonstrated that the social brain and social cognition undergo significant development in human adolescence. Development of social cognition and the social brain are discussed in the context of developments in other neural systems, such as those implicated in motivational-affective and cognitive control processes. Successful transition to adulthood requires the rapid refinement and integration of these processes and many adolescent-typical behaviours, such as peer influence and sensitivity to social exclusion, involve dynamic interactions between these systems. Considering these interactions, and how they vary between individuals and across development, could increase our understanding of adolescent brain and behavioural development.

Current research on culture focuses on independence and interdependence and documents numerous East-West psychological differences, with an increasing emphasis placed on cognitive mediating mechanisms. Lost in this literature is a time-honored idea of culture as a collective process composed of cross-generationally transmitted values and associated behavioral patterns (i.e., practices). A new model of neuro-culture interaction proposed here addresses this conceptual gap by hypothesizing that the brain serves as a crucial site that accumulates effects of cultural experience, insofar as neural connectivity is likely modified through sustained engagement in cultural practices. Thus, culture is “embrained,” and moreover, this process requires no cognitive mediation. The model is supported in a review of empirical evidence regarding (a) collective-level factors involved in both production and adoption of cultural values and practices and (b) neural changes that result from engagement in cultural practices. Future directions of research on culture, mind, and the brain are discussed.
