Genomic signatures of recent convergent transitions to social life in spiders
Nature Communications, 2022 Sociality has evolved repeatedly in arthropods. Tong et al. compare the genomes of 22 spider species with a range of social complexity and eight independent origins of sociality, and identify specific genetic changes associated with the evolution of ...

Energetic benefits of sociality offset the costs of parasitism in a cooperative mammal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sociality and particularly advanced forms of sociality such as cooperative breeding (living in permanent groups with reproductive division of labour) is relatively rare among vertebrates.

Social dilemmas of sociality due to beneficial and costly contagion.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Levels of sociality in nature vary widely. Some species are solitary; others live in family groups; some form complex multi-family societies. Increased levels of social interaction can allow for the spread of useful innovations and beneficial information,

AAV-compatible optogenetic tools for activating endogenous calcium channels in vivo
Molecular Brain, 2023 Calcium ions (Ca2+) play pivotal roles in regulating diverse brain functions, including cognition, emotion, locomotion, and learning and memory. These functions are intricately regulated by a variety of Ca2+-dependent cellular processes, encompassing ...

Cortical representations of affective pain shape empathic fear in male mice
Nature CommunicationsAffect sharing, the ability to vicariously feel others’ emotions, constitutes the primary component of empathy. However, the neural basis for encoding others’ distress and representing shared affective experiences remains poorly understood.

The rostroventral part of the thalamic reticular nucleus modulates fear extinction
Nature Communications, 2019 The precise role of the thalamic reticular nucleus in fear is not understood. Here, the authors report that the rostroventral part of the reticular nucleus is involved in the extinction of tone conditioned fear memory through its inhibitory projections ...
