" The notion that cognition having to do with social life is different from

other forms of cognition as managed by the brain is becoming widely accepted

among scientists who study brain and behavior, " adds Pfaff. " So 'smartness'

about social life is different from smartness about SAT scores. "

you know this article is beyond me, but I recognize many words that we

encounter-olfactory

bulb, amygdala, hypothalamus, pituitary, estrogen, and one that we don't

talk

about, but perhaps should-OXYTOCIN. This article discusses an

interrelationship of the above.

" The researchers say that these findings could yield new insights into

certain aspects of human social behavior. Oxytocin, for example, is clearly

involved in the maternal bond found in humans. This " peptide of affiliation "

also

is known to regulate anxiety, so it may play a role in social phobias. And

there is evidence in certain pathologies, like autism, that oxytocin is

deficient. "

There is alot of research going on re: oxytocin and AGGRESSION and social

behavior in both

males and females. Oxytocin is currently administered to some as a

treatment for autism.

A google of " Social behavior and Oxytocin " yields much.

It might be worth asking about or looking into?
