  Psychiatric disorders induced by social stress have suggested that monoamines play key roles in a whole brain network. To research an environmentally dependent neural network development of social psychology, we report our model animal study of peer-social behavior learning by screening the relevant monoamines in various brain regions in the light of social brain network. We have originally developed psycho-biological quantification batteries based on multivariate analysis over species, including the current subjects, domestic chicks (Gallus gallus). The chicks’ peer-social environment was regulated as grouped and isolated from just after hatching. After two weeks, their acquired behavioral features were examined in a social meeting with unfamiliar peers and then, quantified 10 kinds of monoamines in their 13 brain regions at their steady state under off lighted conditions in da..
