the possible role of the neurotransmitter serotonin in human affiliative behavior is under-examined in the review by depue & morrone-strupinsky (d&m-s). this commentary reviews evidence indicating that serotonin not only inhibits aggressive behavior that may be detrimental to affiliative bonds with others in a social group but serotonin also enhances prosocial behaviors that may facilitate ties to the social group.
