This Presidential Lecture explores the neural basis of social bonds in family relationships through the study of poison frogs. Discover how these amphibians with complex family units and simple brains provide valuable insights into the mechanisms reinforcing familial interactions. Learn about parental coordination of offspring care, parent-infant affiliation, and how variations in care quality during development impact brain structure and function in offspring. Presented by Lauren O'Connell, this 57-minute talk from the Simons Foundation reveals fascinating parallels between frog family dynamics and broader principles of social bonding.
