| Description: | The NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series features lectures and discussions with leading neuroscientists.
Dr. Insel is one of the pioneers in the field of "social neuroscience" which investigates the molecular and cellular basis of complex social behaviors. His research over the past 15 years has demonstrated that neuropeptides, especially oxytocin and vasopressin, are critical for maternal behavior, infant attachment, and pair bond formation. His studies using molecular, cellular, systems, and behavioral techniques have become classics in behavioral neuroscience as they provide a model for gene regulation of behavior.
