Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The meta-analysis identified two variables that significantly predictedrelative cortisol levels: subordinates exhibited higher relative cortisol levels when they were subjected to higher rates of stressors and experienced decreased opportunities for social (including close kin) support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased social fear and decreased fear of objects in monkeys with neonatal amygdala lesions.
M. D. Prather,Pierre Lavenex,M. L. Mauldin-Jourdain,William A. Mason,John P. Capitanio,Sally P. Mendoza,David G. Amaral +6 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that the lesioned infants exhibited less fear of novel objects such as rubber snakes than age-matched controls and exhibited substantially more fear behavior than controls during dyadic social interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of bilateral lesions of the amygdala on dyadic social interactions in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).
Nathan J. Emery,John P. Capitanio,William A. Mason,Christopher J. Machado,Sally P. Mendoza,David G. Amaral +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that amygdala lesions in adult monkeys lead to a decrease in the species-normal reluctance to immediately engage a novel conspecific in social behavior, contrary to the idea that amygdalectomy produces a decreases in social interaction and increased aggression from conspecials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortisol circadian rhythms and response to stress in children with autism.
TL;DR: The results suggest that children with autism process and respond idiosyncratically to novel and threatening events resulting in an exaggerated cortisol response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic intranasal oxytocin causes long-term impairments in partner preference formation in male prairie voles
Karen L. Bales,Karen L. Bales,Allison M. Perkeybile,Olivia G. Conley,Meredith H. Lee,Caleigh D. Guoynes,Griffin M. Downing,Catherine R. Yun,Marjorie Solomon,Suma Jacob,Sally P. Mendoza +10 more
TL;DR: Long-term developmental treatment with intranasal OT in the prairie vole resulted in a deficit in partner preference behavior (a reduction of contact with a familiar opposite-sex partner, used to index pair-bond formation) by male voles.
