Advancing social behavioral neuroscience by integrating ethology and comparative psychology methods through machine learning

TL;DR: Whether complex social environments can shape the development of complex social behavior and the degree to which the current approaches for studying social behavior outcomes give insight into “complex” social behavior is discussed.

TL;DR: It is made the case that while automating analysis has been valuable, and overautomating analysis is risky, more effort should be spent automating the collection of behavioral data.

TL;DR: Temporal regularities in vocalizations are highly effective for discrimination within and between species.

TL;DR: A functional role for DA neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is identified, in which synaptic changes following acute social isolation are observed and the degree to which these neurons modulate behavior is predicted by social rank, together supporting a role for DRN dopamine neurons in mediating a loneliness-like state.

TL;DR: This review explores mechanistic and behavioral links between stress, anxiety, resilience, and social behavior in rodents, with particular attention to different social contexts.

TL;DR: In this article , a pose estimation toolbox for multi-animal tracking is presented, which integrates the ability to predict an animal's identity to assist tracking in case of occlusions.
