The amygdala as a hub in brain networks that support social life
Open accessAbstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that the amygdala is central to handling the demands of complex social life in primates. In this paper, we synthesize extant anatomical and functional data from rodents, monkeys, and humans to describe the topography of three partially distinct large-scale brain networks anchored in the amygdala that each support unique functions for effectively managing social interactions and maintaining social relationships. These findings provide a powerful componential framework for parsing social behavior into partially distinct neural underpinnings that differ among healthy people and disintegrate or fail to develop in neuropsychiatric populations marked by social impairment, such as autism, antisocial personality disorder, and frontotemporal dementia.

In modern animals, the neurophysiological structures that regulate pain, a basic type of sentience, also work to process social information and modulate social responses.
“In modern animals, the neurophysiological structures that regulate pain, a basic type of sentience, also work to process social information and modulate social responses.”
From The social origins of consciousness (2025) · cites this paper as [45]
Section 5.3 says that pain-responsive brain regions also respond to social rejection and that activity in this network predicts social decisions and behavioral change. Section 5.1 describes pain-sensitive targets in the social-aversion network. The paper does not establish that these structures regulate pain, and its human and macaque evidence does not support the claim across modern animals generally. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredModern brains retain close connections between the substrates for social cognition and affect.
“The argument from neuroscience points to evidence that even very simple brains have the capacities for social rewards and pains, and that modern brains retain close connections between the substrates for social cognition and affect.”
From The social origins of consciousness (2025) · cites this paper as [45]
The amygdala has a large number of oxytocin and dopamine receptors and is strongly implicated in social cognition and social decision-making.
“The amygdala, with a large number of oxytocin and dopamine receptors 11,12 and strongly implicated in social cognition and social decision-making 3,13 , is a prominent candidate to encode deviations from a social reference-point.”
From Oxytocin modulates social value representations in the amygdala (2019) · cites this paper as [13]
The amygdala plays a critical role in allocating attention to other people and in integrating social information and social emotions into decision-making.
“This is consistent with studies showing that the amygdala plays a critical role in allocating attention to other people 7 and in integrating social information 42 and social emotions 13 into decision-making.”
From Oxytocin modulates social value representations in the amygdala (2019) · cites this paper as [13]
The amygdala has been proposed to be a hub of social-affective circuitry that anchors distinct networks that respectively support overall social perception, social affiliation, and social aversion.
“Indeed, the amygdala has been proposed to be a hub of social-affective circuitry that anchors distinct networks that respectively support overall social perception, social affiliation, and social aversion (Bickart et al., 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
