   2012 Eisenberger review was in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, not Science (matches reference list)

   Before

   Eisenberger's work, synthesised in a 2012 review in Science, argued that the social pain system evolved to use the physical pain system as its alarm mechanism.

   After

   Eisenberger's work, synthesised in a 2012 review in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, argued that the social pain system evolved to use the physical pain system as its alarm mechanism. Verified body text and bibliography (Eisenberger, N. I. (2012). The pain of social disconnection... Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 13(6), 421-434) both already correctly cite Nature Reviews Neuroscience, and the FAQ field contains no reference to this study's journal.

   Why: Already correct everywhere: body text, bibliography citation, and FAQ all correctly attribute the 2012 review to Nature Reviews Neuroscience. No changes were required.
