Abstract Social interaction enhances evolutionary fitness by enabling efficient communication of physiological information between individuals. Semiochemicals, that convey socially relevant information, are detected the vomeronasal organ (VNO) which projects directly to accessory olfactory bulb (AOB).

Here, we investigate experience alter sensory-driven M/T using fiberphotometry find stimulus is presented can be as important for determining strength response identity itself.

The fighting fish Betta splendens, long studied for its aggressive territorial competitions, has the potential to be a tractable and relevant model studying intersection of cognitive ecology social neuroscience. Yet, few studies have comprehensively assessed behavior across both nonsocial contexts. Furthermore, present study is first quantify expression phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 (PS6), proxy neural response, in telencephalon. Here, we male suite tasks found that response mirror, but not neophilia (a novel object) nor anxiety (scototaxis), predicted competition. To then explore aspects competition, exposed either familiar or opponent compared their competitive as well responses teleost homologs hippocampus, basolateral amygdala, lateral septum. We did detect any differences between familiar-exposed novel-exposed individuals, by implementing use habituation–dishabituation competition design Betta, were able observe remarkable consistency outcomes repeated exposures. Taken together, lays groundwork expanding integrative multidimensional questions cognition.

The socially monogamous prairie vole ( Microtus ochrogaster ) and promiscuous meadow pennsylvanicus are closely related, but only voles display long-lasting pair bonds, biparental care, selective aggression towards unfamiliar individuals after bonding. These social behaviors in mammals largely mediated by steroid hormone signaling the behavior network (SBN) of brain. Hormone receptors reproducible markers sex differences that can provide more information than anatomy alone, even be at odds with anatomical dimorphisms. We reasoned associated monogamy may emerge part from unique expression patterns this species, these would similar across males females or laboratory mouse. To obtain insight into developing brain, we assessed estrogen receptor alpha Esr1 ), beta Esr2 androgen Ar within SBN, using situ hybridization postnatal day 14 mice, meadow, voles. found species-specific hippocampus ventromedial hypothalamus, as well species bias principal nucleus bed stria terminalis. findings suggest observed gonadal underlie behaviors.

Abstract Social isolation affects the brain and behavior in a variety of animals, including humans. Studies traditional laboratory rodents, mice rats, have supported idea that short-term social promotes affiliative behaviors, while long-term anti-social increased aggression. Whether effects on behaviors rats generalize to other rodents remains understudied. In current study, we characterized (3-days) vocal non-vocal adult prairie voles ( Microtus ochrogaster ) during same-sex opposite-sex interactions. Our experiments revealed did not affect rates ultrasonic vocalizations or time spent non-aggressive huddling. contrast, affected aggression sex- context-specific manner male-male findings highlight importance comparative work across species consideration context understand diverse ways which can impact behavior.
