Neurobiology of social behavior : toward an understanding of the prosocial and antisocial brain

Social neuroscience is a rapidly growing, interdisciplinary field which is devoted to understanding how social behavior is regulated by the brain, and how such behaviors in turn influence brain and biology. Existing volumes either fail to take a neurobiological approach or focus on one particular type of behavior, so the field is ripe for a comprehensive reference which draws cross-behavioral conclusions. This authored work will serve as the market's most comprehensive reference on the neurobiology of social behavior. The volume will offer an introduction to neural systems and genetics/epigenetics, followed by detailed study of a wide range of behaviors - aggression, sex and sexual differentiation, mating, parenting, social attachments, monogamy, empathy, cooperation, and altruism. Research findings on the neural basis of social behavior will be integrated across different levels of analysis, from molecular neurobiology to neural systems/behavioral neuroscience to fMRI imaging data on human social behavior. Chapters will cover research on both normal and abnormal behaviors, as well as developmental aspects.

  • ""The Neurobiology of Social Behavior presents a comprehensive and multilevel analysis of the neural regulation of prosocial and antisocial behaviors in mammals. An important feature is the integration of animal and human studies that span research from molecular and developmental neurobiology, behavioral neuroscience, and social, cognitive, and affective neuroscience. The book begins with two chapters dealing with functional neuroanatomy and molecular genetics. This introduction is followed by chapters on aggression, sexual behaviors and sexual differentiation, parental behavior, monogamy, and human sociality. All chapters integrate animal and human studies, but the final chapter deals with highly developed human social characteristics, such as empathy, trust, cooperation, and altruism. By emphasizing basic research on the neurobiology of a variety of social behaviors, and appreciation is gained on how a breakdown or dysfunction within social neural circuits an lead to pathological outcomes. Therefore, most chapters integrate research on normal and abnormal social behaviors. The social pathologies discussed include intermittent explosive disorder, pedophilia, abusive and neglectful parenting, autism, and psychopathy."--Back cover."@en
