"The new study shows that fish can detect fear in other fish, and then become afraid too — and that this ability is regulated by #oxytocin, the same brain chemical that underlies the capacity for #empathy in humans."

This will take a few toots, so please hear me out.

On the radio today I heard about a study: they had manipulated the genome of a certain kind of fish in a way that the fish couldn't produce any oxytocin. The normal behavior in unmanipulated fish was to mirror and copy a state of shock observed in a peer and to "help" when the threat has vanished. The manipulated fish didn't do either. So fish too can show empathy and it's linked to oxytocin.

Saw this toot by @mothboss93 and thought it should be shared with alt-text

Also number 4 show why I have had many issues, I never got hugs or cuddling as a child (my mother even admitted that she never cuddled me)

Neuartige Überlegungen - #NewQueerTheory (9) - #Leib

Es gibt hier nur die unmittelbare #Berührung von Mensch zu Mensch, wobei jeder dem Anderen ein radikal Anderer ist und bleibt.

Die Berührung äussert sich #leiblich, also gesamthaft körperlich, psychisch und sozial in Einheit.

Das körperliche lässt sich nicht abspalten. #Empathie ist auch mit genetischen Besonderheiten der #Oxytocin-Rezeptoren verwoben.

Empathie ist eine leibkörperliche Regung (Schmitz) - bezogen auf den Anderen.

When I say that "friendship is anarchy," I mean it only partly in jest. A #scientific #study was done that found that dominance hierarchy was flattened, with increased behavioral synchrony, in rhesus macaques, in relation to elevated #oxytocin and #vasopressin, which are two hormones that are associated with deep friendships. Aspiring to #friendship and #siblinghood, in all #society, is fundamentally #anarchist.
