BNPA 2014: Oxytocin and social cognition
b'Individual differences in our capacity to read other people\\u2019s emotions and to remember faces we have seen before are highly variable in the general population. Some people are super-recognizers; others have difficulty remembering their own family members. Such abilities are also highly heritable, implying our genetic makeup exerts an important influence. \\n\\nBut what genes are involved in social perception? Where do they act when our brains process social signals? What happens if the social perception system malfunctions? How does it affect our social behaviour? \\n\\nProfessor Peter Halligan, Director of the BNPA, asks David Skuse, Professor of Behavioural and Brain Sciences at the Institute of Child Health, University College London, the answers to these questions.\\n\\nThis podcast was recorded at the 2014 British NeuroPsychiatry Association AGM.'
