Oxytocin and Neanderthal Neuroscience
Neanderthal Neuroscience | The Loom : Rather than universally promoting the better angels of our nature, oxytocin has broader effects on our behaviour. It either makes people more alert to social cues in their environment, or motivates them to seek social connections with others. These effects manifest in different ways, both positive and negative, depending on the person and the situation.
