Neural Computation and Neuromodulation Underlying Social Behavior.

摘要: Social behaviors are as diverse the animals that employ them, with some behaviors, like affiliation and aggression, expressed in nearly all social species. Whether discussing a "family" of beavers or "murder" crows, elaborate language we use to describe immediately hints at patterns behavior typical each Neuroscience has now revealed core network regions brain essential for production behavior. Like themselves, neuromodulation hormonal changes regulate underlying neural circuits on timescales ranging from momentary events an animal's lifetime. Dynamic heavily interconnected provide distinct challenge developing mechanistic understanding However, advances neuroscience continue generate explanation based electrical activity synaptic connections neurons embedded defined circuits.
