AbstractFace memory abilities are at the core of human social interaction, yet these vary widely within the general population, ranging from developmental prosopagnosia to “super-recognizers”. Previous work has focused mainly on the contribution of the well described face network to this variance. However, given the nature of the face memory task, and the social context in which it takes place, we were interested in exploring how the collaboration between different networks outside the face network (measured through resting state connectivity) affects performance on face memory tasks. We discovered that face recognition memory is supported by a wide network of connections between the face patches, memory regions, auditory regions and social networks. Moreover, this network was selective for memory for faces, and did not predict memory for other visual objects, such as cars.

Theta Burst

Humans process faces by using a network of face-selective regions distributed across the brain. Neuropsychological patient studies demonstrate that focal damage to nodes in this network can impair face recognition, but such patients are rare. We approximated the effects of damage to the face network in neurologically normal human participants by using theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS). Multi-echo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) resting-state data were collected pre- and post-TBS delivery over the face-selective right superior temporal sulcus (rpSTS), or a control site in the right motor cortex. Results showed that TBS delivered over the rpSTS reduced resting-state connectivity across the extended face processing network. This connectivity reduction was observed not only between the rpSTS and other face-selective areas, but also between nonstimulated face-selective areas across the ventral, medial, and lateral brain surfaces (e.g., between the right amygdala and bilateral fusiform face areas and occipital face areas). TBS delivered over the motor cortex did not produce significant changes in resting-state connectivity across the face processing network. These results demonstrate that, even without task-induced fMRI signal changes, disrupting a single node in a brain network can decrease the functional connectivity between nodes in that network that have not been directly stimulated.

Aim. To determine the availability of social networks for involvement of clients in the sphere of esthetic surgery. Materials and methods. The data of a social group from The Clinic of Esthetic Surgery “EstMed” in the social network vkontakte were analyzed. Results. The number of subscribers was 533, the main contingent – women aged 25 to 44 years; 48 % of users look through the group posts by means of mobile devices. The participants of this group were not satisfied with the form and dimension of their breast, pendulous abdomen, wrinkles on the face, “ears” on the femurs and form of buttocks; 95 % voted for plastic surgery as an appropriate way to fight with aging. Most subscribers were ready for surgery; 50 % of interrogated persons consider psychologist’s consultation to be necessary. The greatest number of persons consider buttocks, breast and legs to be the most sexual part of the body. One third of the questioned persons have breast size number one, but the majority of interrogated persons consider that men prefer breast size number three. Posts, containing jokes, arouse the greatest interest, information not concerned with the subject matter of the group – the least. Conclusions. When used professionally, social networks can be a strong instrument to involve clients.

The article proposes approaches to solving the problem of the ongoing crisis of national-state identification of young citizens of Russia and the associated socio-political risks of a delayed nature. Digitalization radically changes the structure of employment of the population, the nature of socio-economic and socio-political relations, the functioning and reproduction of the culture underlying group, ethnic, national-state identity, creates the possibility of effective cross-border external influence. These changes contain significant risks of destabilizing the state and its main institutions, the formation of a controlled "digital society". The results of the first stage of an empirical study of social representations of Russia by young users of social networks are presented. The article substantiates the dependence of national-state identity on social ideas about one's country, which are being transformed in the context of digitalization of all spheres of life. The structural-functional and content-morphological characteristics of the social ideas of young people about Russia have been determined. Differences in the social perceptions of young people of different categories were revealed, and differences in the significance and valence of the elements of the "core" zone were revealed. It is planned to conduct the second stage of research on the structure and content of social perceptions of Russia by young users of social networks with different ideological preferences, socio-political sentiments, in order to test the significance of the elements of the “core” zone depending on political orientations.

Development Of Language

The purpose of this article is to carry out an analysis of the triggering elements in the process of deformation and development of vices in language. Determine the influence of smartphones, social networks and the use of foreign words in its transformation. The analysis is important because it is part of the factors that reduce the development of an assertive language among young people who are currently in professional training. This research is carried out from a direct observation of case studies in order to analyze the social networks of a group of people (volunteers) to evaluate their communication processes, the development of language vices or the generation of spelling mistakes. In addition, the application of a survey to evaluate the behavior of people in the face of the elements that are considered triggers for the problem. The main contribution of the research is the approach taken to the analysis of the factors that trigger the deformation of language and its incorrect use, which allows the generation of bases on which to work future research, for the correction of the current problems generated in spelling as a result of this, and that allows to expand the knowledge about future action strategies.

Rural Oaxacan migrants are defined as quintessential transnational movers, people who access rich social networks as they move between rural hometowns in southern Mexico and the urban centers of southern California.  The social and cultural ties that characterize Oaxacan movers are critical to successful migrations, lead to jobs and create a sense of belonging and shared identity.  Nevertheless, migration has socio-cultural, economic and psychological costs.  To move the discussion away from a framework that emphasizes the positive transnational qualities of movement we focus on the costs of migration for Oaxacans from the state’s central valleys and Sierra regions.

This article covers several stages of the work of Pichon-Rivière. In the 1950s he introduced the hypothesis of "the link as a four way relationship" (of reciprocal love and hate) between the baby and the mother. Clinical work with psychosis and psychosomatic disorders prompted him to examine how mental illness arises; its areas of expression, the degree of symbolisation, and the different fields of clinical observation. From the 1960s onwards, his experience with groups and families led him to explore a second path leading to "the voices of the link"—the voice of the internal family sub-group, and the place of the social and cultural voice where the link develops. This brought him to the definition of the link as a "bi-corporal and tri-personal structure". The author brings together the different levels of the analysis of the link, using as a clinical example the process of a psychoanalytic couple therapy with second generation descendants of a genocide within the limits of the transferential and countertransferential field. Body language (the core of the transgenerational link) and the couple's absences and presence during sessions create a rhythm that gives rise to an illusion, ultimately transforming the intersubjective link between the partners in the couple and with the analyst.
