You may also likeDescribed as a “neural model of nostalgia”, the model is made up of four key elements – self-reflection, autobiographical memory, emotional regulation and reward – each of which work together to create the experience of nostalgia we’re all familiar with.
They then took a closer look at each element – including the brain regions involved – and compared it with previous studies to determine how they work together to create nostalgia.Self-reflection The first element the paper’s authors identified was self-reflection – aka the ability to look back on past experiences and reflect on the role we played in certain situations. As such, self-reflection plays an important part in the creation of nostalgia because it allows us to draw emotional lines between our past and current selves.
With more and more of us tapping into nostalgia to self-soothe in times of uncertainty, it’s interesting to understand exactly how it works. And while knowing how nostalgia works may not impact the way we experience it, it’s fascinating to understand how the different parts of the brain work together to produce this unique emotion.
