Abstract
⺠Oxytocin, vasopressin, prolactin and testosterone affect parental behavior in rodents, primates and humans. ⺠There is widespread overlap between parental brain systems and the neural systems involved in social cognition. ⺠Effective parenting may involve maintaining physiological responses within a range that is neither too low nor too high. ⺠There is a need for more studies on the neural bases of human allomaternalcare.
