Social behaviors, such as mating, fighting, and parenting, are fundamental for survival of any
vertebrate species. All members of a species express social behaviors in a stereotypical and …

Social interactions are essential for animals to reproduce, defend their territory, and raise
their young. The conserved nature of social behaviors across animal species suggests that …

Vertebrate animals exhibit a spectacular diversity of social behaviors, yet a variety of basic
social behavior processes are essential to all species. These include social signaling; …

We live in a world that is largely socially constructed, and we are constantly involved in and
fundamentally influenced by a broad array of complex social interactions. Social behaviors …

Tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of the ultimate and proximate
mechanisms underlying social behavior, yet an integrative evolutionary analysis of its …

Deciphering the genetic and neurobiological underpinnings of social behavior is a difficult
task. Simple model organisms such as C. elegans, Drosophila, and social insects display a …

Rapid advances in the neural control of social behavior highlight the role of interconnected
nodes engaged in differential information processing to generate behavior. Many innate …

Social behaviors entail responses to social information and requires the perception and
integration of social cues through a complex cognition process that involves attention …

Decisions made by individuals can be influenced by what others think and do. Social
learning includes a wide array of behaviors such as imitation, observational learning of …

Animals evaluate and respond to their social environment with adaptive decisions.
Revealing the neural mechanisms of such decisions is a major goal in biology. We analyzed …
