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.

A review of the current empirical literature underscores the need for longitudinal research examining potential spillover effects between hesitancy, intention, or uptake for the COVID vaccine and HPV and HBV vaccines, especially to account for social media misinformation.
Oxytocin signaling plays a critical role in a molecularly defined neuronal population of the Medial Amygdala to modulate the behavioral and physiological responses of male mice to females on a moment-to-moment basis.

Input from the ventral hippocampus to the medial prefrontal cortex regulates social memory in wild type mice and atypically-strengthened input causes social memory dysfunction in Rett syndrome mice.

The uncertainties of the pandemic and the restrictions on social life have a strong impact on mental well-being, and especially on the expression of schizotypal traits, which are further boosted by excessive media consumption.

Social defeat stress induces transcription factor Npas4 expression in the medial prefrontal cortex and its chronic stress-induced changes in excitatory synaptic transmission, reduction of dendritic spine density, and anhedonia-like behaviors.
Male and female mice respond differently to the same pheromone signals, and the representation of these sensory stimuli by neurons in the medial amygdala correlates precisely with the differences in behavior.
Acetylcholine, released from cholinergic fibers originating from the medial septum, shapes social memory, and controls the CA2 hippocampal circuit via nicotinic receptors localized on GABAergic interneurons.
