摘要: Social neuroscience is rapidly exploring the complex territory between perception and action where recognition, value, meaning are instantiated. This review follows trail of research on oxytocin vasopressin as an exemplar one path for "dark matter" social neuroscience. Studies across vertebrate species suggest that these neuropeptides important cognition, with gender- steroid-dependent effects. Comparative in voles yields a model based interspecies intraspecies variation geography receptors V1a forebrain. Highly affiliative have brain circuits related to reward or reinforcement. The neuroanatomical distribution may be guided by variations regulatory regions their respective genes. describes promises problems extrapolating findings human specific reference deficits autism.
