The density of the gut microbiota influences the host immune system and adiposity, and can be therapeutically manipulated.

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.

Serotonin neurons in chronically isolated mice become less responsive to excitatory stimulation, but inhibiting a distinctive calcium-activated potassium channel can restore both neuronal activity and behavior.

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.

Social clustering behaviors in Drosophila are closely tied to compensatory mechanisms for developmental traits and adaptive behavior plasticity, requiring early-life social experiences and the memory-encoding neuropeptide signaling pathway.

Social enrichment supports longevity.

Parallel chemical and physiological profiling of conspecific chemosensory communication in mice identifies both common and unique strategies for vomeronasal signaling of sex and strain.

The dorsal medial prefrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala exhibit social behavior-relevant neuronal oscillations, representing unified pathophysiological mechanisms underlying social behavioral deficits.

An analysis of publications and research grants shows that the volume of research on reproductive organs is much less than that on non-reproductive organs.

Behavioural and physiological stress response components are integrated on the major axis of genetic covariation, with implications for health and the understanding of the evolutionary response to stressors.
