Social connectivity increases an individual’s likelihood of behavioural adoption if the learning rule depends on the extent of social connections to informed others, but is unrelated when learning depends on the ratio of connections to informed versus uninformed others.

Zebrafish knockouts can be generated in a few hours directly from wild-type eggs and are suitable for studying continuous traits, including behaviour.

Upon detecting a fatal infection using chemical cues, ants puncture the cuticle of sick brood and inject antimicrobial poison that disrupts the pathogen's life cycle and prevents it from reproducing, thus protecting the colony from disease.

Declined coding of sensory information in the brain reflects human vigilance decrements and allows prediction of behavioural errors.

The two most commonly used chemogenetic actuators, clozapine-N-oxide and compound 21, similarly modulate sleep in wild-type laboratory mice indicating that even designer drugs which do not convert to clozapine can elicit behavioural effects and require adequate controls.

Connectivity network matrices, as estimated with masking or dual regression against group-level parcellations, reflect little or no unique cross-subject information that is not also captured by spatial topographical variability.

Foveal vision in pigeons plays a crucial role in predator detection while the flock is collectively foraging and being vigilant.

The larvae of the western corn rootworm use root-emitted CO₂ to successfully locate the most suitable host plant.

Place cells in the rat hippocampus encode positions along well-learned routes as opposed to intended destinations.

Implementing neural changes associated with attention in a deep neural network causes performance changes that mimic those observed in humans and macaques.
