Cross-Cutting Theme Program

Biological Bases of Social Behavior

Saturday, May 25, 2013, 12:30 PM - 3:40 PM
Thurgood Marshall Ballroom West

In response to recent advances in social neuroscience (broadly construed), this theme program speaks to the various ways that basic biological functions shape and underlie social behavior. The speakers will explore how an understanding of neuroscience, physiology, genetics, and endocrinology can foster a fuller, more consistent understanding of social behavior and of the person.
