Resumen

En los últimos años se ha intensificado el estudio de las conductas prosociales, incluyendo más atención a lso aspectos neuropsicobiológicos implicados en estas conductas, para entender su funcionamiento, así como para fomentarlas. Las investigaciones también pueden proporcionar una aproximación a la búsqueda de tratamientos más acertados para aquellas enfermedades en que la cognición social está alterada. El objetivo principal es presentar el estado acutal de la cuestión, revisando la literatura publicada acerca de las hormonas que influyen en la conducta prosocial, tanto en animales como en humanos.Los resultados de la investigación apuntan a la oxitocina, la vasopresina, la testosterona, los receptores α del estrógeno y la serotonina como las sustancias más relevantes.
