“This astonishing volume is an intellectual romp across the social and biological sciences. It treats fundamentally interesting ideas—from altruism to empathy to affection—clearly and comprehensively. From neurons to networks, from genes to groups, this volume marks the birth of social neuroscience as a new, integrative paradigm for viewing humans. It’s a learned and riveting tour de force.” Nicholas A. Christakis, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Medicine and Sociology, Harvard University “No other book comes close to being such a comprehensive reference work on social neuroscience or such a browsable collection of fascinating papers in this field.” Martha J. Farah, Ph.D., Walter H. Annenberg Professor in the Natural Sciences, University of Pennsylvania “Social neuroscience is a dynamic and diverse new field of neuroscience, and this outstanding handbook features many of its leaders and emerging leaders. It presents exciting new ways of looking at how the social environment for both humans and animal species affects brain and behavior as well as the rest of the body.” Bruce McEwen, Ph.D., Alfred E. Mirsky Professor, The Rockefeller University

The complexities of the brain and nervous system make neuroscience an inherently interdisciplinary pursuit, one which comprises disparate basic, clinical, and applied disciplines. Behavioral neuroscientists approach the brain and nervous system as instruments of sensation and response; cognitive neuroscientists focus mostly on representations and processes such as attention and memory. The Oxford Handbook of Social Neuroscience marks the emergence of a third broad perspective in this field. With an emphasis on the neural, hormonal, cellular, and genetic mechanisms underlying social behavior, social neuroscience places emphasis on the associations and influences between social and biological levels of organization. This complex interdisciplinary perspective demands theoretical, methodological, statistical, and inferential rigor to effectively integrate basic, clinical, and applied perspectives on the nervous system and brain. This comprehensive volume includes:
