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.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“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]
In the citing paper
“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]
In the citing paper
“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]
In the citing paper
“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.
