1/✨ New paper in #eNeuro! We looked at how dominance behaviors vary across mouse strains—turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all!

For those of you headed to #SfN25 If you study social behaviors be sure to check out our posters.
We will be presenting how the brain represents prosocial decisions, how dopamine dynamics relate to social memory, whether respiration relates to social hierarchies, and more!
