Oxytocin has ‘Tend-and-Defend’ Functionality in Group Conflict Across Social Vertebrates

2021-12-13

Abstract excerpt

<p>Across vertebrate species, intergroup conflict confronts individuals with a tension between group interests best served by participation in conflict and personal interest best served by not participating. Here, we identify the neurohormone oxytocin as pivotal to the neurobiological regulation of this tension in distinctly different group-living vertebrates, including fish, birds, rodents, non-human primates, an...
