Basic Knowledge: Center for Behavioral Neuroscience
The social behaviors that are essential for species survival, such as fear, affiliation, aggression, and reproductive behaviors are the next frontier for neuroscience. A consortium of more than 60 CBN researchers is examining the neural mechanisms underlying these behaviors and, conversely, how social experience may sculpt the brain. These efforts are complemented by a large educational program designed to provide learning and research opportunities for teachers and students at all levels.

Basic Knowledge: The Evolution of Human Mating
An article outlining the inspecting the evolutionary history of human mating. The abstract states, "During human evolutionary history, there were 'trade-offs' between expending time and energy on child-rearing and mating, so both men and women evolved conditional mating strategies guided by cues signaling the circumstances. For some men, many short-term matings might be successful, whereas others might try to find and keep a single mate, investing effort in rearing her offspring. Recent evidence suggests that men with features signaling genetic benefits to offspring should be preferred by women as short-term mates, but there are trade-offs between a mates genetic fitness and his willingness to help in child-rearing. It is circumstances and the cues that signal them that underlie the variation in short and long-term mating strategies between and within the sexes."
