社会互动对动物繁殖、保卫领地和养育后代至关重要。动物物种之间社会行为的保守性表明，特定社会反应的动机和执行背后的神经通路也得到了维持。神经科学的现代工具为剖析控制特定社会反应的分子和神经机制提供了新的机会。在这里，我们将回顾最近对一种特别迷人和重要的社会互动形式——亲代关怀——背后的神经回路的见解。我们将讨论这些发现如何为解构男性和女性的婴儿导向行为控制开辟新的途径，并帮助理解包括人类在内的各种动物的育儿神经基础。
Social interactions are essential for animals to reproduce, defend their territory, and raise their young. The conserved nature of social behaviors across animal species suggests that the neural pathways underlying the motivation for, and the execution of, specific social responses are also maintained. Modern tools of neuroscience have offered new opportunities for dissecting the molecular and neural mechanisms controlling specific social responses. We will review here recent insights into the neural circuits underlying a particularly fascinating and important form of social interaction, that of parental care. We will discuss how these findings open new avenues to deconstruct infant-directed behavioral control in males and females, and to help understand the neural basis of parenting in a variety of animal species, including humans.
