Social Behavior from Rodents to Humans: Neural Foundations and Clinical Implications (Current Topics in Behavioral Neurosciences Book 30)

This compelling volume provides a broad and accessible overview on the rapidly developing field of social neuroscience. A major goal of the volume is to integrate research findings on the neural basis of social behavior across different levels of analysis from rodent studies on molecular neurobiology to behavioral neuroscience to fMRI imaging data on human social behavior.
