They provide introductory material to establish links between sections and chapters. The contributions highlight the ever-increasing complexity of social cognition and decision-making; as such, a variety of important topics are covered, including: DNA and neural correlates of emotion; studies at the cellular level in relation to reward learning and prediction error; imaging studies aimed at elucidating brain areas involved in decision-making and social interactions; pharmacology; applications to understanding psychopathologies such as compulsive gambling, addictions, eating disorders, and autism; and game theory approaches to understanding decision-making and social behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom DNA to Social Cognition is a valuable resource for research scientists, graduate students, and post-docs in the fields of genetics, psychology, neurosciences, economics, psychiatry, and psychopharmacology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989247246565,"sku":"NP9780470543962","price":173.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470543962.jpg?v=1761783367","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/from-dna-to-social-cognition-isbn-9780470543962","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
