Abstract :Neurosociology is an interdisciplinary field located at the intersection of neuroscience and social sciences. It is a multi-level, integrative perspective that aims not to replace established sociological traditions, but rather to strengthen and draw inspiration from them. Essentially, it aims to examine the biological origins of human behavior, their neurological functions, and the complex relationships between them and social interactions. It investigates how the brain and nervous system are related to social interactions, emotional responses, decision-making processes, and other cognitive functions. The main goal of neurosociology is to understand human behavior within the complexity of biological, neurological, and social factors. This allows for a broader perspective in evaluating human thoughts, emotions, decisions, and social interactions. The literature presented under the title of neurosociology in revealing the neurological foundations of social behavior is quite new. The aim of this study is to provide information about neurosociology, which is still relatively unknown in our country, through a literature review method and to make a small contribution to the literature.
