Reproduction is a critically important event in every animals' life and in all vertebrates is controlled by the brain via the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. In many species, this axis, and hence reproductive fitness, can be profoundly influenced by the social environment. Here, we review how the reception of information in a social context causes genomic changes at each level of the HPG axis.
繁殖是每个动物生命中至关重要的事件，在所有脊椎动物中，它都受到大脑通过下丘脑-垂体-性腺（HPG）轴的控制。在许多物种中，这个轴，以及生殖适应性，都可以被社会环境深刻地影响。在这里，我们回顾了在社会环境中信息的接收如何导致 HPG 轴各个水平的基因组变化。
