Social information is a process encompassing information acquisition, application and exploitation that is constrained by an individual’s social, behavioural and demographic phenotype.

People's confidence in information and their neural correlates in key regions of the social brain are more stable when tracking social advice compared to non-social information.

Information theory reveals that apparently similar signaling behaviors in ants and termites are instead governed by distinct communication protocols explaining their underlying different functions.

Haloperidol comparably affects learning from social and non-social sources when they are the primary source of information but does not affect learning from (social or non-social) secondary sources, providing evidence in support of domain-general neurochemical mechanisms underpinning social learning.

Offering users reaction buttons that convey reliability (e.g., ‘trust’, ‘distrust’) increases discernment and significantly reduces the spread of misinformation on a social media platform.

Social deficits in IRSp53/Baiap2-mutant mice accompany decreases in prefrontal neuronal firing variability, burst firing, and social information decoding accuracy, and memantine-dependent NMDAR inhibition, which rescues social deficits, alleviates burst firing, suggesting that burst firing links NMDAR dysfunction with social deficits.

Mathematical modelling and large-scale online experiments revealed that learning from others can induce 'smarter' decisions even when most individuals are biased towards adverse risk aversion.

Rats learn to interpret cues predicting rewards delivered to social partners as valuable, but only if social information exchange is possible.

After mating, female mice form a sensory memory of the stud male's pheromones that correlates with striking changes in responsiveness of the specific neural ensemble activated by her partner.
