Development of a novel open-source device, 'E-Scope,' to simultaneously record electrophysiology and calcium imaging in freely behaving animals, discovering co-modulation of the cerebellum, and anterior cingulate cortex during social interaction.

Myelination in the medial prefrontal cortex defines behavioral consequences to social stress.

anTraX is an algorithm and software package that facilitates automated analyses of insect social behavior in species and experimental settings that are not accessible with currently existing technology.

A novel pheromone/receptor neuron pair mediates attraction between Drosophila larvae, and evolved differences in pheromone signaling underlie changes in social behavior between drosophilid species.

Reproductive behavior is conferred from experienced to naïve Drosophila as a behavioral social strategy allowing naïve groups to anticipate a threat from a predator.

Use of experimental manipulation demonstrates that social/solitary feeding behaviors are unrelated to the fitness gains conferred by causative alleles in two previously identified genes.

Tissue infection by an extracellular pathogen is recapitulated by encasing a bacterial colony within a droplet gel to allow immune cell attack, driving spatially-controlled microbial social behavior.

Rats show socially selective helping behavior based on familiarity with the type of rat, but not necessarily the individual rat.

Social isolation increases anti-social behaviour by altering activity in brain areas related to anxiety, stress, and reward.

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.
