The book provides clear and accessible information that avoids anthropomorphisms, reviews the latest research from the literature, and is essential reading for neuroscientists and others studying behavior, emotion and empathy impairments, both in basic research and preclinical studies. Though empathy is still considered by many to be a uniquely human trait, growing evidence suggests that it is present in other species, and that rodents, non-human primates, and humans share similarities.
- Examines the continuum of behavioral and neurobiological responses between rodents—including laboratory rodents and monogamic species—and humans
- Contains coverage of humans, non-human primates, and the emerging area of rodent studies
- Explores the possibility of an integrated neurocircuitry for empathy

Ewelina Knapska
Dr. Knapska has been the head of the Laboratory of Emotions Neurobiology at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences, since 2012. The group currently focuses on mechanisms of socially transferred emotions and cellular mechanisms of extinction and renewal of conditioned fear. Dr. Knapska’s lab uses experimental rodent models to study brain mechanisms underlying social communication and the neural mechanisms of impaired social behaviors.
