    En los últimos años se ha intensificado el estudio de las conductas prosociales, incluyendo más atención a lso aspectos neuropsicobiológicos implicados en estas conductas, para entender su funcionamiento, así como para fomentarlas. Las investigaciones también pueden proporcionar una aproximación a la búsqueda de tratamientos más acertados para aquellas enfermedades en que la cognición social está alterada. El objetivo principal es presentar el estado acutal de la cuestión, revisando la literatura publicada acerca de las hormonas que influyen en la conducta prosocial, tanto en animales como en humanos.Los resultados de la investigación apuntan a la oxitocina, la vasopresina, la testosterona, los receptores α del estrógeno y la serotonina como las sustancias más relevantes.

    During the last years, an increasing amount of studies have focused on prosocial behavior. Many of them display a strong interest in the understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms involved in such behavior, which is absolutely necessary in order to achieve a complete comprehension of its nature, as well as to promote and improve prosocial behavior in human societies.

    The research may also provide the basis to develop more accurate prescriptions for the diseases in which social cognition is affected. The main object of this study is to assess the current state of the art in this field, by reviewing the scientific literature that provides information about the hormones affecting prosocial behavior in animals as well as in human beings.

    The results point out that oxytocin, vassopressin, testosterone, alpha-estrogen receptors, and serotonin seem to be the most relevant endocrine products.
