Popis: Background: Economic sanction is a United Nations' pressure tool on a target government and civilians for changing strategic decisions about violating international norms of behavior, but many authors argue that in several cases, sanctions do not work. A nonpolitical and noneconomic study about economic sanction outcomes is scarce. In this study, we reviewed the related official documents, translated the sanction process by neuroscience language, and tried to recognize the type of stress process related to different outcomes in the target countries. Methods: We do this job in three phases: phase one is related to the literal review, phase two focuses on definition analysis according to neuroscience approaches, and phase three comes on neuroscientific target analysis. Defining stress process related to different outcomes by neuroscience is mentioned in the discussion based on using of other papers' data. Results: Stress act of sanctions As: Act of aggression, Threat, Keeping enemy, Restriction, Pursuing, Blocking, Compression to force, and Loss of some things are means that how could sanctions affect civilians and run the process of social pressure in the target entities. Conclusion: We concluded that sanctions are always threatening political tools and their effectiveness completely depends on the politicians view to threat proximity and the type of response to stresses of sanctions.
