Traditionally, neuroscience has considered the nervous system as an isolated entity and largely ignored influences of the social environments in which humans and many animal species live. However, there is mounting evidence that the social environment affects behavior across species, from microbes to humans.
This volume brings together scholars who work with animal and human models of social behavior to discuss the challenges and opportunities in this interdisciplinary academic field.

From the book reviews:
"Jean Decety and Yves Christen bring together 17 of the leading researchers in the emerging discipline of social neuroscience to discuss the key concepts and findings that define this new field of investigation. . It provides a solid overview of research in the new subspecialty of social neuroscience and would serve as excellent supplementary reading for various courses across a number of disciplines. . most appropriate for graduate students and professionals interested in acquiring a broad understanding of social neuroscience." (Samuel T. Gontkovsky and Charles M. Burack, PsyCRITIQUES, Vol. 60 (12), 2015)
