For many, the terms oxytocin and vasopressin immediately evoke images of animals interacting with one another, as both of these neuropeptides have been implicated as being part of the neurochemical "glue" that socially binds animals. However, social environments and social interactions are complex and include behaviors that bring animals together as well as behaviors that keep animals apart. It is at the intersection of social context, social experience, and an individual's sex that oxytocin and vasopressin act to modulate social behavior and social cognition. In this review, this complexity will be explored across mammalian species, with a focus on social memory, cooperative behaviors, and competitive behaviors. Implications for humans as well as future directions will also be considered.

催产素和加压素：社会行为的有力调节剂。

对于许多人来说，催产素和加压素一词立即唤起动物彼此相互作用的图像，因为这两种神经肽都被认为是与动物社会结合的神经化学“胶”的一部分。但是，社交环境和社交互动非常复杂，包括将动物聚在一起的行为以及使动物与众不同的行为。催产素和加压素在社交环境，社交经验和个人性别的交汇处调节社交行为和社交认知。在这篇综述中，将在哺乳动物物种中探索这种复杂性，重点是社会记忆，合作行为和竞争行为。还将考虑对人类的影响以及未来的方向。
