Abstract in brief

The study examines how stress, especially stress related to attachment, affects the brain's ability to understand others' mental states, which is essential for social interactions.
Researchers used a modified version of the "Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test" to compare the effects of general stress and attachment-related stress on brain activity, finding that attachment stress specifically reduces activity in key social cognition regions.
After experiencing attachment-related stress, certain brain areas involved in mentalization showed decreased activation and altered connectivity, suggesting that attachment stress uniquely disrupts social understanding in the brain.]
