Masaki Isoda talked as about important brain areas for monitoring the actions of others.
They identified 3 subtypes of neurons: active during self actions, active during both self and other actions and active during other actions! 🤯

Work from Seng Bum Michael Yoo shows that in reinforcement learning, agents optimize their strategies and in a social version they have to integrate their own actions and those of others.

Eric Fortune works on coordinated communication in songbirds (wrens).
Most neurophysiological activity happens when the birds sing themselves, while there is inhibition when the other sings. 🐦🐦⬛

Zoe Donaldson presented work on relationship formation in voles
Partners show higher inter-brain synchrony than strangers, because this synchrony decreases with strangers.
They now want to move their experiments out of the lab into more ecologically valid environments.

Aaaand Felix LeRoy looked at a mouse model of autism.
These mice are less sociable and were less dominant/inquisitive when an intruder was present. In these mice, the vasopressinergic system is deregulated (this specifically affects social behavior and aggression)!
