The dorsal raphe nucleus plays a critical role in social homeostasis and social bonding, while the lateral and periventricular hypothalamus are involved in the control center of this circuit. Dopamine is released in the brain when individuals are not interacting at the right frequency or intensity.
Clips
The neural circuit that controls social homeostasis has four components, one of which establishes an individual's place in the hierarchy relative to others.

Summary
The neural circuit that controls social homeostasis has four components, one of which establishes an individual's place in the hierarchy relative to others. Social hierarchies are flexible, where one may be the leader in one setting, but not in another.

Dopamine release occurs when we do not have enough social interaction in our lives, which causes us to crave social interactions of a particular kind.
22:44 - 26:19 (03:34)
Summary
Dopamine release occurs when we do not have enough social interaction in our lives, which causes us to crave social interactions of a particular kind. This is significant as dopamine is typically associated with feeling good or reward, but in this case, it is associated with seeking out social interactions.
