据《中国网络视听发展研究报告（2025）》显示，截至2024年底，全国短视频用户已超10.4亿，人均每天刷短视频的时间达到2.6小时——也就是说，每天醒着的时光里，有超过1/10都耗在了算法推送的“一滑到底”里。

这不是危言耸听。一项发表于NeuroImage的研究 [2]首次揭示：短视频成瘾不仅会改变人类大脑结构，还牵动小脑区域多达521个基因异常表达！可以说，在成瘾者的大脑里，已经上演了一场“分子级别的暴风骤雨”。

近日，中国科学院合肥物质科学研究院研究员李海团队发现，人类大脑在理解和判断复杂的社会等级关系时，会调用一套与日常认路、辨别方向时相同的神经系统，相当于大脑内部绘制了一张无形的“社交地图”为复杂的人际社会导航。这项发现揭示了大脑高效工作的神经基础。相关研究成果发表于《神经影像》。

在日常情境中，人们无需与每个人深入交往，就能通过抽象的符号标签，如头衔、职级、辈分，快速判断其社会位置。这些标签就像是心智的“快捷方式”，帮助人们高效理解人际关系。然而，大脑究竟是如何将这些符号“翻译”成一个内在的、结构化的关系网络，并以此指导人们作出判断和决策的？
